Looking for family/information about Margaret McGovern

I am looking for family/information about my great-grandmother Margaret McGovern. She was born in 1873 to Phillip McGovern and Mary Ann (Honeyman) McGovern.

Hi,
Thank you very much for your message.
As Margaret was born after civil registration became mandatory in Ireland you should be able to find a record of her birth in civil records. This will give you a more specific place of origin for Margaret which will then open up further avenues of research. These records are available from the GRO, here are their contact details:
