So,

Now you know that Michael Breen died between 1874 & 1884 !

. . . and that John Forde died between 1901 & 1911

I can't find a marriage for Mary Curtin and Michael Breen in Kerry BUT then I remembered that Mary said on both census' that she was from Cork.

So, first it sounds like she wasn't a Knockbrack Curtin.

So, I had a look in Cork and this was the nearest thing that I could find ~

It's a Mary Curtin, and one of the three choices was a Michael Brien (possible a misuse of Breen).

First name(s)    Mary

No guarantees but might be worth the €4 gamble to get the cert !

Thank you Tara for your help. You make it seem easy with the Irish records. We hadn't got any of this information.

A question if I may about when women re-marry. We assume that once they become a widow, if they re-marry they tend to use their maiden name. This would be the case for Mary Curtin.

I think the only thing left to work on is tracing Denis O'Connor back to find out if Edmund is his brother?

No great choices for a Michael Breen death in the 1874 - 1884 bracket that we are talking about.

There is an ~

1821 - 1876 Tralee Register

1852 - 1882 Kenmare Register

1821 - 1884 Killarney Register

Re widows remarrying ~ do you mean, what would be on the marriage register ?

Or do you mean, how would they show on Census and the like, and how they would be known to their friends ?
