Limerick / Re: Mary O'Reilly birth

Hi, Joe.
Not relevant to your query as such, but just a note on the O'Reilly family in case your friend is interested.
Mary's brother, Michael, remained in Ballyfaskin and died in the early 1960s. He was one of the 12 hunger strikers in Cork prison in 1920. Lord Mayor Terence MacSwiney and two others died. Mary and Michael were my grandmother's first cousins. My mother has memories of Michael visiting her grandmother.
The family historian Patricia O'Dwyer Flores is a granddaughter of Mary's uncle Denis O'Dwyer. She has a website with more information on that side of the family.
