Mary O'Reilly birth
« on: Friday 01 July 16 14:50 BST (UK) »
Hello all

I am attempting to trace the birth record of a friend of mines mother, Mary O'Reilly (Reilly)

In her US Petition of Naturalization she gives her birthplace as Ballylanders, Ireland.

She married John McCorkell in New York, 22nd Oct 1916

 http://tinyurl.com/johgpyd

Father Michael O'Reilly, mother Johanna O'Dwyer

She gives her DOB as 17th March 1894, I am wondering if this date is correct or maybe she didn't know so chose St Patrick's Day?

I can't find a Civil Birth record, and i'm unsure of the parish records in the area, also I don't see her in the 1901 or 1911 census in Ballylanders.

Any help appreciated

Does the naturalization record give any indication of when she arrived in America?

This will place Ballylanders on the map for you- it's in Mitchelstown Poor Law Union/Registration District which fits with the marriage registration dathai found-
