Kate's entry in 1901 Irish census has a space between the Mc and the Nally
I'm certain that she was a sister (maybe a half sister) of Margaret May's.

I'll follow up on the second London birth (east London) and see if its the correct one.

I think its back to the drawing board - the school register at PRONI may throw something up for me.

Thanks for all the help

Thank-you for all the responses

I'm not sure that the Maria McNally who died in Oldham (1891) is connected.

I don't think that Maria Mc Nally was married - at Margaret May's birth there is no father recorded. But that's not to say that she was married and widowed at Margaret May's birth in 1891. If this was the case then there is a possibility that Maria is a relative of mine.

I don't know a birth date for Maria - I'm taking 1855 from the death record which may not be her.

In 1901 Ireland Census Margaret May is recorded as "May Phlenphy" ( I really don't know how or why this name was recorded but I do know for certain that this is Margaret May) living in Bryansford Co Down her sister Kate Mc Nally, I believe, is living in Rathriland Co Down aged 18 her birth place is given as London.

I've tried checking the census in England prior to 1900 but have been unable to find any of the three women.

There is no census records for Ireland prior to this so I cannot check if there were living in Ireland. I will check the local school records in Co Down to see if that will give me anymore info.

I don't have alot of information - Maria had two children Margaret May, who was born at Wellington Street (Moss Side) on  17th May 1889, another child, Kate was older and possibly born in 1883 in London.

I have checked census record and have only been able to locate Margaret May living in Northern Ireland in 1901 with a relative. I also believe her sister Kate shows up in the 1901 census living / working not far from her, again in Northern Ireland.

I have been told that Maria died when Margaret May was very young and that the two children came to live with relatives in Northern Ireland.

I'm trying to get more details about who Maria Mc Nally was and how she fits into my family tree, so I thought that there might be additional details on her death records (if this is actually the correct Maria McNally).

I am trying to find out information about Maria McNally (b.1855) and her two children. In this quest I have found a death record on Ancestry in the BMD death index for England and Wales ( Jul-Sept 1891) the registration district is Oldham.

How can I retrieve more information about this death - I'm not sure it is the correct Maria McNally. Are these records available to the public ?

Down / Re: Newcastle: 1976 City Hall address

I live just outside Newcastle Co Down.

I think if someone made a reference to "the side of the city hall" they would be talking about Belfast City Hall.

The town hall in Newcastle would usually be referred to as "The Annesley Mansion / Buildings" or "Council Building / Office"
