Hi - I am trying to find my gt grandmother Mary Rowe who states in a census in London that she was born in Kildare (I don't know if that was the city or county). She married my gt grandfather in 1870 in Dundalk where he was serving in the British army. I do not think she was a catholic. I know she was born around 1846/7 and her father was called John and was a servant. I intend to come to Ireland to research into this. Can anybody direct me as to the best place to start my research?
Regards Pauline

Hello Karen
I must admit my heart gave a little leap when I first read your message. Sadly my Mary Rowe was born around 1847 in Kildare whilst yours would be born around 1879. Its quite spooky really as my Mary's father was also called John and according to her marriage certificate John's occupation was a servant. However my Mary Rowe married William Chamberlain in Dundalk in 1870 and they were back in the UK by 1881. By 1891 William was a civilian and living in London. Unfortunately we do not have a match 
However, there could possibly be some connection. Do you know which part of Kildare your Mary Rowe was born?
regards Pauline

Hi Karen Just thought you may like to know that the family's of soldiers who were serving in Co Kildare at the time you cite lived in Mc Gee Terrace. These are a small group of terraced houses situated between 'what was once the army Barracks' and the Garda (Police) Station on the main road through Kildare town. The houses are still standing and occupied. Kamilla
