Hi, I have been looking for information on my G.Grandmother Mary Agnes Lee. She was born in Tulla, County Clare around 1864 to John Frank Lee and Mary Elizabeth? nee Collins. We know that Mary came to New Zealand when she was 15 years old as she had lived here for 45 years when she died as a 60 year old under the name of Mary Agnes Crump. She had 4 sons and 5 daughters still living at the time of her death and was still married to William Crump (Jnr) Her mother Mary was living with her in New Zealand and the family are desperately trying to find any photos of the above family. Regards, Gail Rosevear

I see there was a previous post on this person, so not sure if that found any details...
There are probable births for your Mary and two of her siblings in the extracted civil birth records on FamilySearch, with parents John Lee and Mary Collins, in Tulla registration district.
see :
Mary Lee 10 May 1864
Margaret Lee 17 Oct 1867
James Lee 1 October 1873These extracted birth records dont include all births and show some of the details from the record, a research cert would include additional items - e.g. place of birth for the child, usually the name of a townland, father's occupation etc
Given the date of Mary's birth it seems that her parents marriage would have been before the start of civil records, assuming they were Catholic, so a search of parish records would be required. RootsIreland have transcripts for some Co. Clare RC baptisms, but no mention of Tulla in their source list at the moment.
