If you are on facebook there are a few Mountcharles pages that you can post to for help. You'll get a good amount of people who currently live there.

Hey, thanks for the reply. All great questions. Yes I am trying to find her birth location as well as the situation around her and her siblings birth. I am still trying to locate the original photo, all I have is a copy of a copy. To answer your questions:
My grandmother was Mary Ann Cassidy and her mother was Bridget Cassidy. The story is Bridget was sent to Scotland to have the baby, she had a few with an unnamed father. I have the birth record for a son Patrick born in 1909 in Scotland and two more born in Monaghan after my grandmother. She is the only one I can't find.
Bridget's mother was Mary McCoy pictured here (Yes, McCoy is a Scottish name but I am pretty sure she was born in Monaghan) I believe her husband was deceased at this time but I am not positive. His name is on the 1911 census but it's crossed out. Her sons emigrated to Scotland, that's who Bridget stayed with in 1909 per the address on the birth certificate.
I wasn't hoping for much from the photo but find it best to put it out there, if anything people have given me good direction that leads to something.
I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / 1911 Picture
« on: Thursday 13 December 12 02:44 GMT (UK) »
Hello again,
I was hoping somebody can tell me something about this picture that could help me identify where it was taken. The baby is my grandmother who was born in November of 1911. I am told she was born in Scotland although the family was from Monaghan, Ireland where my grandmother grew up. She is pictured here with her grandmother. It looks like a baptism picture and my grandmother looks like she is at least 2 months old which would have been late for a baptism back then. She was an illegitimate child and I can find no birth or baptism records in Ireland or Scotland. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you kindly,
Rory

Tom,
My GG Grandmother was Honora Cleary, she married Joseph Mulcahy in Shinrone in 1878. Her father was James Cleary, I believe they were originally from Tipperary. On the marriage certificate transcript I have it lists Margaret Whelan as a witness. I wonder if this is your Margaret Cleary? I am trying to get a handle on the Cleary family so I have more questions than answers right now.

I was searching for ancestors in the Tithe Applotment Books in Tipperary and came across the following:
We Henry Rice and Denis Mulcahy Esquires Commissioners Appointed
under the Acts "4 Geo. 4 Chap. 39" and "5 Geo. 4 Chap. 63" to fix Sanction and
Confirm an Agreement entered into between the Parishioners of the Parish
of Temple etny in the Barony of Iffa and Offa East and County of
Tipperary and The Right Honourable Cornelius Lord Viscount Lismore

and that Said Compositing Commenced on the First day of November One Thousand

I was hoping somebody could provide information about this document so I can get a better understanding in how Denis Mulcahy was involved. Below is the link to the original document.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
