Hi,
   I have found your Ggrandmother's marriage in Keady RC Church on 12 Sept 1911 but I cannot find a death registered on the LDS Record Search pilot site.

hi markey,
my great grandparents were living in the next house in the census,the loughran's, so they must have known each other! small world :)

i'm intending to have a look around the graveyard in keady sometime soon so i will keep an eye out for ellen markey.
