Seeking birth information for Anne Campion

LaoisRaheen (Laois)

Anne Campion was married to Michael Gibson in 1893. She died in 1940, age 64 (registrar's district of Tullamore). I want to find out if she was born in Cloneygowan area (where she lived). I have not been able to find a birth record for her and I wonder if there is a parish record for her. If anyone can give me some ideas for parishes that were in the Cloneygowan area in 1875 - 1877 time frame, that would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Carol

As far as I know you can order a copy of the marriage cert from the GROI and that should give her address etc.

Hi Jim,

Thank you for your reply.  I actually have her marriage certificate.  She married Michael Gibson.  Unfortunately, it doesn't give me any clue as to where she was born.  I only know that she was living in Cloneygowan at the time of the marriage, and that her father's name was Keeran or Keernan (sp.) Campion.  I know from family knowledge that her family originated in Kilkenny, and perhaps that her parents were born there.  Any suggestions as to how I can locate her birth info. would be much appreciated.  

Thanks,

Caroline Gibson Clegg

You could order the certs and hopefully one of them will be the Anne you arelooking for. 

Per the dates you provided she was aged 17 when she was married - would that be right.
