Dear Annmt
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay n getting back to you.

I had a look on rootsireland and there are 2 baptism records for a Catherine Peters born in 1851 and 1854. It might be a good idea to have a look. As this is a subscription site I am limited in what I can see.

Perhaps the names of the sponsors on these records will mean something to you. Alternatively, you may be able to find them on familysearch.org, a free site

Let us know what you think

Hello Annmt,

My Great grand mother's maiden name was Mary Peters. Her father being James Peters. She mairried Peter Hurley & raised a family in the Kells, Killkenny area. I just found this out, through the help of this board. Many thanks to Claire and Rodger.  I have been unable to determine her date of birth at this time. More to follow.

Regards,
