Find Living Relatives

A descendant of Agnes Degnen who married Peter Casey in 1956 would like to trace any living relatives in UK. She has been in Canada since 1966. I will pass on any enquiries.

Get the marrige cert for her age and fathers name and work backwards

It's very unlikely that any close family will just say we are connected

It's not clear Is Agnes still alive ?

This looks like the parents

So it's very likely they had children before Agnes
