I am trying to trace my gt grandmother's family. Her name was Mary Curran born about 1868. Her father was Michael Curran. Mary married a John Lonergan in 1889 in Clonmel and they had 3 children, Ellen, Neddy (Edward) and Michael. He died and she married my gt grandfather, James Holden again in Clonmel in 1897. (James Holden died in 1915 in Flanders, France in the 1914-1918 war). They had 5 children, Alice (my grandmother) Mary (Molly), Tommy, James and Edward.
I believe some of the Currans emigrated to America and those are the ones I am trying to trace. Unfortunately I cannot establish who Mary's mother was.
My grandmother Alice married Arthur Patrick Barrett from Clonmel. Her sister Molly married Patrick Walsh. If any of this is familiar to anybody I would welcome any information.

This looks like her in the 1901 census

and in 1911

She's a little older than you think, born about 1864.Have you tried for a birth cert?
