Hello,

It is best to say what you already have and what you are looking for- it prevents the searching and posting of known information.
Do you have their marriage certificate which would give you their fathers' names?

1867 Athy district volume 13 page 278
Richard Pearson and Maria Hendy.

Hi,

I don't know if this is relevant to your quest, but the name Maria Pearson rang a bell from a conversation I had with a distant relative a few years ago.
There was a Maria Pearson who was a governess that looked after some children in Ballysax, Co Kildare as their mother had died. She married the father of the children William Veighey.
If you look at the 1911 Irish census there is a Maria Veighey listed on it who is 38, age may match the one that you are looking for. William was a relative of mine on my father's side.

Hope this helps.

Margaret

Thank you to all for the replies and that marriage date sound as if it correct as my great grandma was born a year later and it matches with the 1911 census.
