I AM looking for descendants of Josephine Fish (nee Finlan/Mythen).
I believe she was born in Enniscorthy, County Wexford, and came to England after the death of her father in about 1875.
She had a brother Martin and half-sister Kate. Her mother married Thomas Mythen on her arrival in England and they had a farm in the Widnes/Runcorn area.
I am led to believe they had a hotel. If any Citizen readers know anything about this family, I would appreciate them contacting me as soon as possible.
I'll be in the UK in April, and in St Helens for three weeks from May 9.
If I get a lead, I will visit Preston. I can be contacted on e-mail at bryan@tassie.net.au
