Hi
Further research has shown that the maiden name of my Gt Gt Grandmother, Mary, was in fact IRELAND not ILAND, as written by the registrar on the birth certificate of her daughter, Ellen. I've traced this line back to 1813, the birth date of my Gt Gt Gt Grandfather in the Stepney area of East London, England. Further research is needed to show whether the Ireland's are from the Emerald Isles or whether this is yet another corruption.
Any information on any family with this or similar names in London would be much appreciated.
Good luck
Nicholas
