Edith was my daughter’s maternal great grandma … born in Dublin North in 1920.
When she was alive I met her and she spoke with a Portsmouth accent (Portsea accent) but I believe she came to England as a child. She married a Mr Ripley in Portsmouth Hants.
I cannot find her parents anywhere … I’ve also searched separately for Kettingham and Palmer. I’m curious about her name as it doesn’t sound very Irish.
Any help in finding her parents names and anything else on her in Ireland would be most appreciated.
Regards
David

I did read somewhere that in 1800 one quarter of the population of the island of Ireland had English /Scottish blood.
Many many more English emigrated than Irish to USA and other parts of the world.
I’m happy to be English with a little Irish and Scottish blood as well… a good mixture!!
