I'm looking for the birth place of Michael Joseph Farrell, who according to family search died in 1981 in Chester and was born in April 1926.

He married Veronica M Kelly in Chester in 1956.

There are no Michael Joseph Farrells born in Chester (he was Irish or of Irish origin) in 1926 and this is all the information I have for now. I am doing this research for a friend and they are starting with very limited information.

Without ordering the marriage certificate, is this a dead end as there seems to be too many results to accurately determine.

If I even had his mother's maiden name I would be set but it isn't on the death register on family search.

    Buy the marriage certificate otherwise you're wasting your time.

    Don't forget that he might originally have been O'Farrell.

There is a family tree on Ancestry.com that has a Michael J. Farrell who died in Chester in 1981. Born in Longford, Ireland in 1926. The only difference is the month; it gives September as the birth month. There was a Michael J. born in Granard in 1926 who fits for the man in the family tree. The tree is at https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/39961853/person/19432286966/story

  • Hi Tom, thanks for this. I think I'll go for Granard as the birth then. Does the page list his parents? I don't have Ancestry

  • The tree doesn't give his parent's name. You do have the correct d.o.b. as listed on the death cert. I will keep digging and see what I can find.
