How do you know birth date, if you do not have birth certificate?

Is the name Congleton, Cheshire?

Who was born in Congleton? Was it Patrick McCarthy?

The 1911 census gives Minnie's birth place is “Passage East, Waterford, Ireland" (It is a fishing village)
Given that Minnie is often the pet name for Mary / Maria. Have a look at this birth for Mary 11 June 1881.
Abode is Hill of passage. Father is Patrick a fisherman.
