I am hoping that someone can find out some information for me on MArgaret A Green. She was born around 1838 in what I think is Roscommon. Unfortunately I have no other info than that. I know she married a John Kelly, again no idea what year, although must be around 1860, as there 1st child was 1861. I would appreciate any information that anyone can give me, as I am at a loss finding out anything about this lady. I know she lived eventually in Bulwell, Nottingham.

Fill BMD Civil registration started here in Ireland in 1864. Non-Catholic marriages were registered from 1845.
The Index to the Irish Civil registers is available on a familysearch pilot site : http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=2;t=searchable;c=1408347
To trace further back than these date (e.g. to Margaret's birth) you will need to search for parish records.
I think some Co. Roscommon parish transcripts my be available on the paysite of the Irish Family History Foundation at www.irish-roots.ie
