Margaret Violet O`TOOLE

[grandma]

Hi All.
 
Have had help on this board before, and will try again with another request.

Margaret Violet O`Toole, .Apr. 10,1892. Parents Thomas William O`Toole and Mary Fulton Irvine. I cant make out the birth place, it,looks like it could be Hundred of Eacrerd in the district of Clare. I rec a copy of the birth reg but rather difficult to read.

Mary fulton O`Toolel was only 15 when she gave birth to Margaret and was shortly after deserted by O`Toole. Mary later on remarried but I believe that Margaret was raised by her grandparents Margaret and John Irvine.

I have a copy of Margaret Irvines obit where it states a Miss Maggie was one of the mourners. She was definitly not a daughter so am assuming it is the missing Margaret Violet. This was in Young in 1917. She would have been about 25 in 1917.

Wondering if anbody could help in finding information about Margaret Violet, perhaps a marriage. Don`t know if she used the name O`Toole or Irvine, Irwin, Irvin.

Cheers.

Hi Mary,

Firstly, Margaret was born within the hundred of Everard Clare. Clare is a town about 90 miles north of Adelaide, now a large wine growing region. In those days a farming community. Rapid growth in the area these days. The hundred of Everard is out of town, Blythe direction, possibly towards Snowtown. (Certainly still farm land)

2 births listed to 1928 - will PM details as they may still be living. Cut off point for births here is 1928 so may well be more.
