My great-grandparents were married at the Roman Catholic chapel in Donaghmoyne in 1870. Their names Patrick Traynor and Elizabeth Kirk. She died after 1878 but cannot locate a death record. She lived at the family farm in Rahans until her death.

Hi Maryanne,
If you have her marraige details, you probably know roughly when she was born, I have searched familysearch.org for her from 1878 - 1900 & this looks most like your woman. You can order the microfilm from Latter Day saints through their family search centres. You can also get a copy through GRO in Ireland but do state you want a copy not certified copy of original as they are more expensive, when you get the cert ,information on it should confirm if it is her or not. If you need any more help/direction, please let me know. Best Wishes Carmel O'Callaghan

She was born 1845 and was 25 at her marriage in 1870 at the RC Chapel in Donaghmoyne. She gave birth to my grandmother in 1878 at the farm in Rahans. Her maiden name was Kirk and her father was Owen Kirk and her mother was Margaret Ward. Thanks for your interest. The death record you located is for somebody else. There are a lot of Traynors in Monaghan.

Hi Maryanne,
I take it that you have searched family search.org without success, I too have found relatives not registered so the next option is to look at the church records. Co Monaghan have another site & if you wish to contact them they should be able to direct you to the nearest church or maybe they have access to the relavant records

that is their link. Best of luck with your search.. Regards Carmel O'Callaghan
