parish name Lismore

WaterfordLismore and Mocollop (Waterford)

I am looking for any information on my great great grandmother Mary Driscoll born about 1855 in Lismore.

She left Ireland in late 1875 arriving in New Zealand on 24 March 1876 and was a servant. The ship was the Brodick castle.

Mary married William Caleb Osborne in 1879 in Cambridge New Zealand

Kinky:

I checked the Roots Ireland www.rootsireland.ie indexes and there were seven Mary Driscoll baptismal records in Co. Waterford from 1853-1857. However, none of the seven were in the Lismore RC church records. Roots indicates they have the Lismore baptisms back to 1820.

Possibly she was baptized in another church but without having her parents names, it would be difficult to determine.

Let me know if you have questions.
