Is anyone able to possibly find a birth record for my 2x great grandmother mary murray, she would of been born around 1873/1874 in co tyrone she married a william mulholland in inishown buncrana in 1897 he died in 1906 and from some of the info someone got me on here which thank you very much for she ended up in omagh co tyrone and remarried Francis Davidson in 1915 so something is telling me she must of been from around that area in co tyrone to go back there from buncrana, i’m kinda at a brick wall with her birth record i don’t know her mothers maiden name but some talk in the family they’ve heard of a McLaughlin name so maybe it’s possible that’s her maiden name? i haven’t found a marriage record for mary’s parents either, Michael Murray born around 1826 and Eliza/Liza as she’s went by on a census Eliza was also born in co tyrone according to a census, thank you very much

  • The 1911 census shows Mary Mulholland living in Buncrana with her children and her mother, Liza Murray. Mary and her mother were both said to be born in Tyrone. See below.

    Having her mother's name might assist you in identifying the birth record.

  • Hi,

    On the free site irishgenealogy.ie there is only one record for Mary Murray between 1870 and 1880 with father Michael (as on the marriage record). See this record from 1875 with father Michael and mother Alice McDermot:

    https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_retur…. The address given is Barnes and there were a few Murray families in Barnes, but I found only one with father Michael.

    Best wishes, Kieran
