Andrea Report 22 Sep 2007 08:28

My father was Terence Patrick Reilly, his father Eugene Reilly, not sure where/when he was born, believe to be about 1901/1902 in Dublin.
He married Ivy Mosley on 6 Oct 1932 in Romford, Essex, his father is listed as Patrick Joseph Reilly on the marriage certificate. They (Eugene & Ivy) had 2 children, Audrey and Terence.
He was found dead on 14 March 1950 on Railway Line at Viaduct Chester-le-Street and was 48 years old. Cause of death was Multiple severe injuries accidentally sustained when run over by a train, there was a coroners report - don't know how to get a copy of this or a newspaper report from the time.

I am trying to trace my paternal line and am at a dead-end as I have very little info about him. If anyone can help with giving me a few ideas as to where to look?
On his marriage license & death certificate he is Eugene Reilly but on my fathers birth certificate he is Eugene Owen Reilly
Thanks, Andrea Bell
