Looking for details of Molly (Mary Agnes) Mcginnis, a nurse in 1914 aged about 32, Carricue, Ballykelly, Faughanvale.
-
Did you try 1901 or 1911 Census?
Civil Registers?

As she is RC you can search the registers online free.

Once again you are not posting all the information you already have. More details are on your other thread-

... She is a daughter of the late Mr McGinnis, Carrichue, Co Derry, and sister of Dr McGinnis, Chesterfield." Am so glad it has been found.
You've also said "I have searched the burial records for nearby churches both Catholic and Protestant but not getting anywhere in Northern Ireland." but I'm not sure how you could have done that since it's usually only the Church of Ireland that kept burial registers.

Many thanks to 2 x Rootschat Researchers as follows:
Hallmark - thank you for your reply, I should have mentioned that I had seen the entries in the 1901 & 1911 census returns. I appreciate you taking the time to do the search and am glad that you come to the same findings as myself a couple of days ago.
Aghadowey - I started a new thread because I had to make sure that Molly McGinnis & Mary Agnes McGinnis were the same person and I have still not ascertained that 100% (99.9% sure), but..... Hence, my search for a birth certificate and a death notice. I do not have a photograph either. There are 3 x "Molly" in this family as Mary Josephine (married to Dr Francis Patrick McGinnis) and therefore her sister-in-law, was also called Molly (previous Kelly). One of my volunteers at work physically checked the local graveyards and his own historical records for "Molly McGinnis" before we moved onto anything else. Thank you sincerely for the wills/probate information - this will move me on further. I wanted to find out if Molly went back to nursing in Dublin or if she went elsewhere.
Regards.

... which isn't the same as checking burial records of local churches. It may be that there's no headstone or her name wasn't listed on a family one.
Mary Agnes was alive in 1956. She could, of course, have married late in life which will make iot more difficult to trace her. Have you checked any of the Derry papers?

Thank you for the further info Aghadowey. Regards.

Here is the civil birth record for Mary Agnes McGinnis (the one in the previously posted 1901 and 1911 census links):

Also, have a read at the thread below (especially reply #10 to the end, including the reference to 'Aunt Molly Mac'), if correct / relevant, then several of the posters are family relatives and may know more:

Has anyone got pictures of Molly at her investiture? Was it in the field or at the palace. Date should be 20 July 1920. Regards
