Lyle, i have birth register of Elizabeth Matchett, b at Tullyhue 7 June 1880, and Baptism register of Mary Matchett born 7 June 1880. Give me your email address and i will forward copies. It's a mystery: same person or twins? Was the child originally named Elizabeth at birth (june 7 1880) and renamed Mary on date of Baptism Aug 8th 1880? 
cheers

Mabus: interestingly i have on May (Mary) Matchett is: born at Madden Bridge, Tangragee, Co Armagh, N. Ireland 7 Jun 1880 (baptised at Tullylish, Co Down 8 Aug 1880), died (age 85) at Victoria, BC, Canada, 26 May 1965 [buried at Royal Oak Burial Park, Victoria, BC]. May's birth date appears to be the same as Elizabeth's? - thus making them possible twins?. 

May (mary) Matchett married William Braithwaite Press  at Shankill, Belfast, N. Ireland 19 June 1901. They had 3 children:
