I am looking for any information beyond 1911 that would potentially help me find distant relatives.

She is the eldest daughter of my gr grandfather John "Jack" Murray and hence older sister of my grandfather William John.

She was born in Casheltown, Co. Donegal, Ireland on 17 JUL 1908 and listed as resident of Killybegs, Donegal, Ireland on 2 APR 1911 (age 2).

Her mother was Lucy McCloskey.

At some point she must have moved to England (no specifics known, i.e. no city or such), married there and had children. That is all I know about her. I think she preferred to be called "Ida" or "Ada" rather than Mary.

Any help is greatly appreciated (residency, marriage, children, death, etc.)

Kind regards

William John

Welcome to the boards, William John.

When you say "information beyond 1911", do you mean AFTER or BEFORE 1911?

Or just any information at all ?!

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

I am referring to information after 1911

I will see if I can get more information from a relative in Ireland, perhaps at least a city name in the UK, but that might take a while.

William John...What makes you think she "must" have moved to England ?

Just add to the end of this thread when you come back with more, WJ, rather than starting another.

Will do, I will pick up this thread again once I have (hopefully) gathered more information.

Thanks
