Hi, I looking for any information on a Mrs. Elizabeth Finnegan. She lived in Summerhill Co Meath.
She died in 1935 as far as I can gather . She may have been married twice her second husband being
Finnegan.
Any information on the above would be good.

Thanks.

I suppose the best place to start would be with her death certificate. That would hopefully give you her husband's name and then you could trace back.

Where have you gathered her death date from?
How old would she be?

There are these deaths.

Elizabeth Finnegan 79 yrs 1942 Navan
Elizabeth Finegan 52 yrs 1934 Navan

Thanks for your reply.
I heard that death date many years ago  but unfortunately I cant remember who told me.
She may have been in her late sixties  /early seventies  and have lived in  the Girley/ Fordstown  area before moving to Summerhill.
Not much to go on but who knows...
Thanks

No, it isn't much to go on and I am sure you must have reasons to be searching. However, as you know so little about her, would you recognise her from her death details?
You could purchase both those death certificates to see if they are any relevance.
