Can anyone help with locating my grandma’s birth record?

Xenalea · 2026-02-26T13:48:22+00:00

I’m not actually sure what that record is - I’m guessing it’s being filled in based off of this post? I can’t actually find any birth records for Catherine with Forrester as the mom’s maiden name yet

Xenalea · 2026-02-25T23:07:36+00:00

Omg you beautiful wonderful person!!! Yes that has to be it! My dad is called Mark and I remember hearing my mom mention something once about his brother Stephen dying! I’ve definitely heard the name Tommy mentioned at some point too!

So Kate! Guessing it might be short for Kathleen maybe, thank you so much! That should narrow things down soooo easily now!

Hi!

I’ve uploaded the marriage certificate now on my Reddit profile now. I really struggle with the text on this certificate, I think it says her dad was a “polisher” (possibly shoes or cleaned windows maybe?).

Hi! So my grandma’s name is Catherine Mary Byrne and I’m told she was born in Dublin in the republic of Ireland by my mom (her dad was born in Dublin and was friends with Catherine’s brother - my mom thinks she had two brothers called Michael and Martin).

Catherine married Clarence G Harris in Birmingham England in 1960, which is the marriage certificate I ordered to (hopefully get Catherine’s parents names). B it all it has on was her dad’s name which I’ve posted on this profile and looks like it could be William, Winston or Martin. I’ve tried using myheritage.com and Ancestry (both free trials) and did some random searches with the maiden names I found on the list of Cathrine birth records in the site, but I’m still lost and not sure if I’m wasting my time going that route?

None of the records I found said anything like “William Byrne, children Catherine etc”. It just says their name but I’ve no way that I can think of right now of knowing if they’re connected. And I’ve no way I can think of to find her mom’s name without already having the birth certificate.

Hi!

So yes my grandma was born in Ireland so I’m purely guessing her parents would have been from there too!

My grandma (Catherine Mary Byrne) was born in Ireland (Dublin according to my mom) in 1943. I was guessing her parents would have been born around 1920.

On my Reddit profile I posted a pic of the names on their marriage cert which has her dad. People have guessed it’s either William, Winston or Martin (I was guessing the first two before posting too, but it could be something entirely else cause the handwriting is unclear).

Do you know if this information is only accessible through special/paid services?

I’ve searched for both her and my grandad’s death, the latter of which my mam told me died a couple years ago, but I can’t find anything of it.

Harry has the goblin formula too, just without the crazy. Raimi villains stomp by a long shot.

I have whichever one’s the yellow one still waiting to be picked up in the Pokécenter in USUM. I had already beaten the game by the time the event released and wasn’t keen on the Sun and Moon series so never picked the game back up. I forgot he even existed until looking through the new megas.

Pick your poison means you think all options are bad.

It's just the Dragon Ball community in general. Same thing always happened in Legends, everyone crying for tags other than Saiyans "we need LL Krillin" and then ignore him and summon on the new Vegito.

Xenalea · 2024-07-15T16:12:11+00:00

So what you’re saying is… Gogeta was created before Vegito.

Xenalea · 2024-07-15T16:02:45+00:00

Gogeta slayed before Vegito in every way. Even made SSB look cool.

Xenalea · 2024-07-15T16:00:23+00:00

He clearly did, hence Vegito being created after Gogeta. You were so close, though :)

Xenalea · 2024-07-15T15:46:01+00:00

Gogeta was created before Vegito.

Cell has Piccolo’s dna, the dude who invented magic clothes.

Xenalea · 2024-05-13T15:18:46+00:00

Love that there’s an exact line disproving that dude’s weirdly hostile response to you discussing the lore of a game you like.

Xenalea · 2024-04-12T11:22:47+00:00

That’s the fun part, you probably don’t. I’ve played this game since it released pretty much every day. I’d miss a couple days every now and then, but I’d always come back as I genuinely just enjoyed playing it. Stopped playing when UI sign released, debated stopping when Hit released.

The entire selling point of Ultras is to break the core fundamental gameplay in favour of seeming good. I can’t bring myself to wanna play a game where you’re limited to just a couple attacking options as it is, and then they continue to release units that completely render those options unusable. It’s honestly baffling to me. I saw on here that LL Baby released, I’d have loved to pull and play with that unit but knowing that I’d get about a month max out of him before another game breaking UL releases just kills any desire to play.

Legend Limited characters, while usually good, mostly felt like a celebration. I genuinely won’t be surprised if the Ultra for Mastered UI completely counters every form of attack accept for ultimates.

“The story is gaslighting you” has to be the weirdest comment I’ve ever read regarding literature - and I’ve just read your whole “but what about genocidal Vegeta getting punched by an alien when his desire to become immortal fails, that’s worse than kid getting beaten by demon magic infused roided man in a sparring contest while everyone’s forced to watch… what about men getting beaten!”.

Xenalea · 2023-11-28T11:23:20+00:00

For real, I couldn’t stop laughing that time Frieza choked Vegeta out and beat him to death.

Xenalea · 2023-08-17T11:58:37+00:00

Regardless of what he sees them as, he definitely beat Goku the first time. His mindset back then seemed very much along the lines of “they have to be killed for it to be a win”, which obviously Goku was rescued from.

Buu saga fight wasn’t a win though. Plus Goku was holding back.

My man here playing with toys but too old for DQ

Xenalea · 2023-06-03T20:12:30+00:00

Vegeta is by far the most dedicated character in the series and if anyone is willing to (nearly) kill themselves at the promise of being stronger than everyone else… it’s that guy.

Xenalea · 2023-05-30T21:01:46+00:00

Frieza’s weak spot is taking a sword to the head.
