Margaret Reidy

Kieran:

How old was your grandmother when she visited New Zealand in the 1920s along with her brother? Was he married at that time? Did she return to Ireland.

I looked at the 1911 census and found this family with a Maurice and a Maggie   http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Kerry/Kilfeighny/Leamp…

Kieran:

Did you look at the 1911 census record in my prior response? That Reidy family lived in Kilfeighny civil parish and their RC parish was likely Abbeydorney.

Online Irish death records are only available thru 1971 at the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie  Likely Maurice died after 1971 since I did not find a likely record for him.
