I have found the town that Joseph Redding (jnr) was born in was West Meath. Is there anything new I can do with this information??

Aha...I did not even notice that Thomas was found an not Joseph as I only searched for Joseph.
Did the same search for Joseph and the same record for Thomas came up so it is the indexing that is a bit strange.....
So no, there is not logic why this Thomas should be Joseph.

This would be Auntie Elizabeth Southern's death. Sometimes the witness to the death can give you a clue.

Registration district: [?] Warrington
County: Lancashire
Year of registration: 1929
Quarter of registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Age at death:63

Might be Thomas Southern's death...

Age at death:41
Volume no: 8D

Thank you once again for taking the trouble to help me.
I really do not think that the Joseph Redden is my great grandad as his mother is listed as Margaret not Mary.
I had not come across a death record for Elizabeth Southern so I think that I may apply for her death certificate and see who the witness was. I have a feeling that it will probably be my grandad or his sister though. It can't hurt though.
