Searching for mum

Hello Pat

I am actually trying to locate my mum, Nula O'Prey. She gave me away to my father at the age of two, when he was going to Nigeria to settle, as he had finished his course in Belfast. My mother got married to a Mr Reeves, so she uses her married name. She still lives in Belfast somewhere, trying to contact her, but don't know where to begin. The last time I saw her was in July 1988, for a couple of days, she was based in West Belfast. Lost contact with her after that. I am sure if I get to locate her, she might be able to help you. Margaret

Dear Margaret, Thank you for responding to my posting and hope to hear from you again!! You said your mother is Nula O'Prey Reeves, living in Belfast.....could your mother have brothers Paul and Seamus and sisters Joan and Patricia(now deceased)?? Might her father have been William and her mother Mary??

Info on surname

Dear Pat
Thanks very much for replying. As far I know, my mum has only one sister called Joan and she is very much alive and lives and works in Belfast too. Unfortunately, I don't know my mother's parents names. But they are deceased.

Dear Margaret, The Nula O'Prey (Reeves) that I am referring to is a cousin and she has a sister named Joan, who also lives and works in the same area your mother lives in.....but there are other brothers and sisters there....her parents are deceased......could you ever have been called Jane or is your middle name Jane?? if you are interested in checking out whether or not this is your mother you might try e-mailing me at Sailortown13@Aol.com where I can give you some connecting information and still respect Nula's privacy........Regards, Pat

Dear Howard, Followed your message string and you appear to have a birth date of either 1879 or 1876 for Loraine......do you have a place?? and a death date in Michigan......of Dec of 1918......and her sister Ola (could that possibly have been Orla (an old Irish name?) and dates also...you might apply to the appropriate jurisdictions for either birth or death certificates for either Loraine or Ola to learn more.....the jurisdictions may have an Archives Division for older records....or check with Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness and see if they have a suggestion for you.....also see O'Prey Family Websites....
1- www.quettamar.free-online.co.uk/oprey/
2- www.opreith.freeserve.co.uk
and learn more of the origins of the O'Prey's. Loraine and Ola are not names I am immediately familiar with but O'Prey is a very small clan....all comining from Co. Down / Co. Antrim in Northern Ireland......so somewhere along the line we are distant cousins..... Good Luck with your search! Pat
