Hello,
I am looking for anyone who may know any information on a Fern Brown who married Frank McGlinchey and had at least one daughter Dorothy in 1916. Dorothy married William Mahoney and had little information about Fern as she lost contact with Dorothy sometime after she was born. They would have been born/raised around Boston and ultimately ended up living in Winthrop, Ma. Any information on the either individual would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jenny

Think this makes sense:

I cannot get anything on a FERN

There was in Rhode Island 1957 Directory (page 260) a Mrs Ferol McGlinchey who was a cook in the Hattie Ide Chaffe Nursing Home r 891 Broadway

????

I wonder............ did she revert to her maiden name???

Fern has always been the dead end for us. She left her family right after her daughter was born so we have almost no info. I've always assumed she went back to her maiden name since she had no connection to the family. I think you might be on to something with the Divorced record...
