What sort of information are you looking for? do you have her birth of baptism certificate to show parents and date of birth? do you have a marriage record? have you found her in 1901 and 1911 census? did she leave Ireland at some point? The more details you post the easier it will be for us to help you.

She was my gran and was born about 1871.  I have tried a lot to get the birth info on her.  Her father was Patrick Mc Givern and her Mother Mary Mc Givern.  Not certain of Patrick's religion but Mary's was established church.  Thats all the info that I have for her.  I have all of grans info after her marriage in 1894 in Belfast.

What was her address when she married?

Have you found her in any census records? what's listed as her birthplace?

Where? you repeatedly post this message on threads (without the link which is http://countydown.x10.mx/) giving absolutely no indication on the site where to look for information pertaining to the query.

The LDS site is a bit confusing for these listings- 0182 is page 182 in the birth register and Banbridge is the registration district.
So, a search in the civil registration index brings up the details needed to order the birth certificate- spelling is Magivern- this is the same record I mentioned in the other topic:
Rachel Magivern 1866 Banbridge registration district, volume 16 page 182

See here for ordering N.I. certificates-
