Hi I’m trying to find my great grandmas birth records
Mary A Frances Higgins
Born 1881/82 Castletown co mayo
Father Thomas Higgins
Mother Elizabeth
Not a lot to go on, I can find her marriage certificate in 1910 in Dublin to my grandfather Fred fisher but I can’t find her and I don’t know where to start!
Thank you to anyone for any help at all!

for reference the marriage
1910
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1910/09983/5630604.pdf

witness Nelly Higgins, 40 Ulverton Road

Church register unfortunately does not give mother's maiden name but gives Nelly as Ellen M Higgins and James Cuffe Mason ,35 Pembroke Rd
marriage number 187
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633757#page/17/mode/1up

40 Ulverton Rd appears to be vacant in 1911

James Cuffe Mason was an English man, his mother Harriett was born in Mayo

Hello Reba,

Firstly, you have posted your query on the Down board , rather than Mayo. If this is a mistake, you could ask a moderator to move it.

1911 Beeston shows ‘May’ b Charlestown not Castletown. Do you have more information re her origins?
Sorry for all the questions but the birth found already is Killala rather than Charlestown. :-\

Regards
Heywood
