Helli, i am trying trace my great grand parents. I only have their names - Stephen Carroll and Maggie Carton. My grandad, Peter Carroll, was born and baptised in Leighlinbridge February 1921. His birth wasn't registered.
There are several Stephens and Maggies around, but how can I identify which are mine?
I'm planning to visit the area in February and it would mean yhe world to me to find them. Thank you so much for reading this.

@@@@@@
Curious- were Stephen and Margaret married? I have seen trees showing them as partners or friends. If the trees are correct, they both married someone else??
Sorry, I didn't see your reply. We are currently working with the Maggie identified above but haven't been able to verify if she is the right person.
Yes, they both seem to have married, but not to each other!
Thank you.
