Mary was married in 1855 (in Dundee) and was 26 years old. She died in 1918 (in Dundee) and was 81 years old. I have both of these documents but the ages have confused me as they are very different. I haven't found a birth yet due to this.

So born circa 1830... all you can do is Search the various Parish Registers for Births and work from about 1828..
Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Could it be Telayden, a townland just outside Monaghan town, but in the parish of Tydavnet?
