Margaret Mary O'keefe
« on: Saturday 26 March 16 16:20 GMT (UK) »
Help with a query please!

Margaret Mary O'Keefe was born in Mitchelstown, Cork on 5th May 1893.  She married Harold Stephen Addis in Brentford in June quarter 1917.  How do I obtain a birth certificate for Margaret?  I haven't yet got her marriage cert so don't know her parents' names, and can't find anyone who looks like her on the 1911 Census.  I have been able to look at some registrations for BMD's for Mitchelstown online, but they are earlier than 1893, but I would like to trace her family to see if she is connected to my O'Keefe from Mitchelstown.

I've only just started this research so don't know yet if she had any siblings (I'd be surprised if she didn't though).  I'm waiting for her marriage cert. so should find out who her parents were which should help.

Thanks for your quick reply.

But she is the only one for Mitchelstown so she could be the 9th of April one.
