Searching for Margaret gearin, b. 1844-45 parents Ellen an Corneius or John?
Ellen may be Flynn-or Lynch or Spillane? Margaret left Ireland abt 1863 for phila Pa.
Lorri:
Below is the baptismal record for Margaret. She lived in Banshagh townland in Killorgin civil parish. She was baptized in the RC church in Killorgin. Check out www.irishgenealogy.ie which is where I found this record. I would think you can find baptismal records for siblings and maybe the marriage record for Cornelius and Mary.

Thank you for your help. I did see this on family search. Margaret mother was Ellen, do you think it could be Mary Ellen? also Margaret posted on the census she was b. in Feb. could she be b. in feb an baptisted in may?
Thank you

In the 19th century, a child would be baptized fairly quickly (within a week unless there were extenuating circumstances). There would not be a three month wait. Can't explain the discrepancy. Mary Ellen is a good possibility.
