Need help tracing Mary Noel Breslin
« on: Sunday 20 November 22 12:33 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for details of this family. Ardrae County Donegal.

Mary Noel Breslins siblings are Patrick, Thomas, Peter, Ellen and Kathleen (catholic family)
Mary Noel Breslin married Thomas Davies in Manchester in 1955 and she died in Fleetwood Lancashire in 2016.

Please can anyone help to find her family in Ireland.
Kind regards
dinkey

If she married TD in Manchester in 1955, do you have the marriage certificate and if so what was the name of her father? Whats her age on the certificate?

The 1901 and 1911 censuses are online free-

Nothing coming up for the place called Ardrae. Might it be Ardara?

I can see the death index and also an entry in Find a Grave but neither have an age or year of birth. Do you know how old she was on her death?

Do you have years of birth for the siblings? Are any before 1920?

Mary was about 78 when she died in 2016 which put her year of birth about 1938. I imagine her siblings were born within a 10 year time frame.

Sorry but I don't have more accurate information

This site may be helpful for some records, although the birth would not be online - Ardara us Glenties registration district.
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/

As you can see from censuses, there are lots of Breslins around Ardara

There are birth indexes here tom1958 - several Mary’s but not Mary Noel.

I would say you need to purchase the marriage certificate to find her father’s name.
