What do you think of the information found already?

Irish births are only online to 1919.

You can search the indexes here for the other children https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1408347

If they moved to England before 1939, you might find them in the 1939 register on Ancestry or FindmyPast.

All information so far seems correct when put up against what I already know. I will have a look at the 1939 register :)

Here is the marriage of Michael Meehan and Johanna Fitzgerald

Could this be a brother to your Mary?
CWGC - Private Michael Meehan
https://www.cwgc.org/find-records/find-war-dead/casualty-details/2323419/MICHAEL%20MEEHAN/

My grandmother has said that Mary did have a brother Michael who died sometime during D day.

She also mentioned that Mary’s brother Jimmy (James?) was a radio officer in the Navy and her other brother David was killed in Italy.
 
If Michael and Joannah had sons with those names then I think these are the right people.  :)

Here is David
https://www.cwgc.org/find-records/find-war-dead/casualty-details/2071474/DAVID%20MEEHAN/

So it looks to be the right family.
If you don’t have the marriage certificate to Alfred, that would confirm Mary’s father’s name.

You can order a research copy of Mary’s birth certificate for 4 euros

PJ has posted the family details for Michael and I posted Michael and Johanna’s marriage details - her father, David.
