CARROLL maggie born c.1888 Tralee Co. Kerry
« on: Thursday 17 December 15 09:56 GMT (UK) »
Maggie Carroll was my grandmother, she married an Englishman William Robert Lowe in Bedford, England in 1906, he was a soldier with the Royal Army Medical Corps stationed in Ireland from 1905 to approx 1910 returned to England. My mother Elizabeth was born in Fermoy Co.Cork 15/08/1907 and her sister Margaret was born in England 14/01/1911. Strange thing is on my mothers birth certificate the mothers maiden name is given as Carroll but on her younger sisters birth certificate mothers maiden name is given as Moynihan??? I know the two daughters were bought up by their Aunt from young children. What happened to Maggie did she return to Ireland . Can anybody throw any light on this matter please.

Welcome to Rootschat  :)

Start with the marriage certificate- what's listed under details for Maggie's father?

Have you found the family in the 1911 census yet? (we aren't allowed to due lookups on that one but you can post details from it for us).

Who were the informants on the children's birth certificates?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
