Thanks Kath. Just checked that out, but a death in Birr 1924 looks like it's ruled out. Never mind!

Sorry, crossed posts. Yes, that is correct, and I have them 1945. Please don't
investigate further Kath, as all info is known after this.

Hi Kath.
Thanks for response.
This is for someone else, so my info is limited.
Rosina was born about 1918 in Ireland. She married in B'ham 1943, so might not even have been in England 1939, but thought it worth a go.
Nothing more is known about Patrick.

Do you know when either of them was born? Were they born in Birmingham?

I would really appreciate it if someone could possibly check 1939 register for me please.
Names would be Rosina and/or Patrick Shortt in Birmingham (yes, 2 T's!!). They are siblings, not a married couple, not sure if that matters.
Many thanks.
