Probably over the birth of one of my grandmothers. I was always told that she was English, but happened to be born in Ireland. However, shortly before my mother died she said to me 'Did you really believe that? That a Catholic, born in Cork with the name Eileen Mulligan was English?' She said that it was just the story they put about because being Irish in England in the early part of the 20th century meant that you were socially limited. I'd love to know more - and I'm sure there's a great story in it - but everyone who could cast light on it is dead.
