James Reilly and Mary Anne Clerkin

MonaghanClones (Monaghan)

Hi looking for any information about the above family, my grandmother Mary Eileen Reilly was adopted out in 1920 but she was born in Clones in March 1919 and these are her biological parents. Any info would be great appreciated.

Thanks Karen (From New Zealand)

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

It appears that James and Mary Anne were married in Co. Cavan in July 1918. Here is the civil marriage record which shows where they were living and the names of their fathers.

This is the likely 1911 census for Mary Anne's family http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Cavan/Shercock/Shinan/336257/
