Mary Maher born Laois Ireland in 1883 to parents John Maher and Mary Doyle. She left Laois to join her brothers Patrick and Fintan in America but I have not been able to trace her. Letters to her mother suggests she remained there . Any help would be great .

When did Mary immigrated to the USA ??? Have you got her on any Ireland Census ???Have you followed the brothers in the USA ? Located any obituaries for Finton and Patrick ??? See Finton Maher married Bridget Delaney 7 June 1905 Manhattan New York.

Thank you Sandra for your reply. Mary was one of 10 children .I have traced most of them .She isn't listed in either Irish Census available. I have no idea when she left Ireland or where she went.The only thing I have is a diary entry where it says Maria Maher (Mary) Michaels sister wrote from America asking for her baptism cert. Mary Maher was baptised in Laois Ireland 26 January 1883.
I have searched endless for her but no luck.
and so the search continues.
Thanks once again.

I presume you have not located any obituaries for the other siblings which may mention her ???

Mary probably had to produce her baptism certificate for her marriage so does the diary give the year of this request.

The priest in Laois would also have noted the marriage in the baptism register.
