Hi
Wondering if anyone can help with information about a lady called Mary Lavelle who was born in Ballina in 1899. Her middle name may have been Teresa, but not 100 percent sure on that!
Can't seem to find anything relating to her, or her family, in the Irish Records I have searched. I think she came to England at some point and married a man called William Bramham in 1929 in Leeds, West Yorkshire.
ANY help would be so very much appreciated!
Thanks.

A more likely candidate is Mary Teresa Lavelle who was baptised in Kilmoremoy / Ballina RC parish on 22 October 1899, a transcription of her baptismal record shows that her date of birth was 15 October 1899, the address was 'Garden', the parents were John Lavelle and Brigid Sheridan, and the sponsors were Stephen J. Temple and Mary Corcoran. Critically, the baptismal record was subsequently annotated to say that she 'married Wm Bawhan in Cathedral Leeds 20/10/1925 - witnesses Brian Samuel and Letitia Bawhan'.
This looks like them in the 1901 census:

And in 1911:

Here is the 1894 civil registration of marriage for John Lavelle and Bridget Sheridan:
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1894/10580/5854573.pdf
The church marriage record adds the mothers' first names, John's parents given as Edward and Sarah Lavelle, Bridget's parents as Patrick and Winifred Sheridan.

Just a possibility here for Bridget, a baptism of Biddy Sheridan on 20 December 1863 in Backs RC parish, parents Pat Sheridan and Winny McHale (left page, 7th entry up from bottom):

Again quite speculative, but just to note that an Edward Lavelle and Sally Lavelle got married in Kilmoremoy RC parish on 20 October 1859 (left page, 6th entry up from bottom):
