I do not know the parish of my grandmother Mary KERR. She came to New Zealand in 1879 at the age of 18 years after her mother died. I do not know the names of her parents. Her father was said to have been a schoolteacher. She is said to have had a sister or sisters who went to America. My grandmother's mother worked at a presbytery in Monaghan.
Hi Patricia,
The record of the birth/baptism of Mary Kerr 1861 Monaghan is on rootsireland.ie.
If you get the record you can click on the magnifying glass at the end and get the parish which I got - Monaghan Roman Catholic.
If you purchase the record (it's a pay site) you will get the parents' names and you can then search for siblings using the surname and parents' names but leaving the first name blank.

Dear Col,
Thank you very much for the information about my grandmother Mary Kerr. She has been a difficult person to find so I am looking forward to finding out more about her.
Thank you again. Your prompt reply is much appreciated.
