I'm trying to search for my 2nd great grandmother's baptism record. Her father's name was Michael Byrne. I have four census records showing various DOB as 1847, 1845 and 1841. Her death certificate gives her birth as 1845. Her marriage cert in 1867 gives her birth as 1846. I'd also like to know if her given age of 21 could be made up, i.e., was 21 the minimum legal age to be married? Two of the censuses give Drogheda as her place of birth.
I have found two baptism records with Parish/District of Drogheda and with Michael Byrne as the father. One is for the year of 1852 and the other is for 1842.
What can I do to try to identify which of these, if any, baptism records belongs to my 2nd GGrandmother? Many thanks.
