Mary Eileen Johnson - Feb, 1917 - Dec, 1917

After reading Kate's post about Mona, I did some additional research on Ancestry and found that a Mary Eileen Johnson was born about March, 1917 in Kirkdale and the mother was listed as having a maiden name of Dowling.  On a hunch, I decided to order a copy of the birth certificate and indeed found that she was a child of Edward Johnson and Martha Dowling, born February 12, 1917.  The birth was registered on March 26, 1917.  I then found a death registered in December of 1917 for Mary E Johnson, registered in the West Derby registration district.  I presume this is most likely the "lost" Johnson daughter.  Would you agree?  I haven't ordered the death certificate and I will keep looking for documentation but I think this is probably the "May" that has been referenced.  What do you all think?   Derek

Thank you Derek for agreeing with this decision.
Here is a photo of Barry with the fund raising staff, they were delighted with the donation.

Thank You

On behalf of  The Johnson family, I would like to thank everyone for all there cards and sympathy over the sad loss of dad, thank you to Kate, Andy,Sue ,Helen, Veronica & Jen for attending dads funeral, and thank you to cousin Derek who sent over a lovely wine & cheese hamper. I hope he won't be offended if we donate it to Claire house who look after terminally ill children on the Wirral so that they can raffle it, its a charity which was close to dads heart and which he has supported over many years.
Thank you to Susan in America and Tom in France and all of Martha' s family for there kind thoughts.
