finding a birth registration
I'm trying to find a birth registration for a Margaret Gairns. Supposedly she is my grandmothers sister. Here's what I know so far about my grandmothers family.
Father-Patrick Gairns died Oct of 1892 in Killybegs
Mother-Anne McBrearty died July 1889 in Killybegs
Children as follows: Elizabeth born 1871
Mary born 1873 and died 5 days later
Thomas born 1874
Mary born 1880
John born 1881(I don't have a birth registration for him)
Anna born 1885(also don't have her birth registration)
Catherine born 1887(my grandmother)
On Margaret's obituary from Chicago Illinois it list my grandmother as her sister. Some of the Gairns relatives list Margaret's birth as 24/Dec/1878 but there's no documentation of this.Because I can't find any information on Mary born in 1880 is it possible that she is really Margaret. I know that all the siblings immigrated to the USA but can't find anything on Mary born in 1880.
Ireland XO has been so helpful to me in the past I can only hope that you can solve this mystery.
Thank you,
