Grandmother in Leitrim

Leitrim

Morning,

I am searching for what happened to my Grandmother.

She was born in Donaghbeg, Leitrim in March 1922 as Mary Elizabeth Martin. Her parents were Thomas Martin (Skreeny) and Kate Conlan (Dromahair).

She married in 1940 to Robert Within, 53, who passed five years later.

In 1950 she gave birth to my Mother in Edinburgh under her married name and gave her for adoption.

Mary returned to Leitrim but I haven't found any trace of her since.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Civil death data for the Republic of Ireland is available online through 1975. I did not see any Mary Within or Mary Martin death records in the Manorhamilton registration district through 1975.

I did locate a 1952 civil death record for Thomas Martin of Donaghbeg first record at the link https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1952/04483/4176361.pdf  Son Patrick was the informant

Kate Martin died in Manorhamilton Hospital in 1962 See second record at the link  https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1961/04329/4118437.pdf
