Mary Donahue, daughter of Edward and Rose
Mary Donahue Miller’s obituary says she was born in County Kildare Longforth in 1858. Her folks were Edward and Rose. Do you have records of this family?
thank you

The subscription site Roots Ireland has a July 7 1859 baptismal record for a Mary Donohoe with father Edward and mother Rose Magan in the RC parish of Colmcille in Co. Longford. This Mary had three younger siblings Eliza 1861 Bernard 1864 John 1867. The mother was shown as Rose McGreal on these three records. Possibly Magan and McGreal are the same person. The handwriting on the July 7th record.shows Magreal or possibly McGirl but I can also see Magan https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000632401?locale=en#page/65/mode/1up
NOTE: An Edward Donahoe married a Rose MacGirl at Colmcille on October 5 1858.
The location for the first three records was Culray which is a townland in the civil parish of Abbeylara. The record for John showed Aghakilmore townland in Columbkille civil parish just north of Abbeylara.

See fourth record at link for 1882 death record for Rose Donohoe https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1882/06401/4838099.pdf
See second record at link for 1884 death record for Edward Donohoe https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1884/06334/4816479.pdf
It appears Edward was 20+ years older than Rose.
