Does anyone have these people in their tree:- Margaret Cunningham born Rathduff 1st April 1885(?), married to a mr Rooney. Margaret died on 18th Feb.1966 (aged 86) at Clara road Moate. I'd love to find out more about Aunt Maggie and who she married. Thanks.

As Jamjar has found, she died in Clara, Co Offaly but it is only approx 10 km from Moate in Co Westmeath.
