Hi I was just wondering if someone could help me with this research into my Irish ancestors.
My ancestor Maria Madden (daughter of David/James) was born born in either 1869 or 1872. I have her birth as August 13 1872, (can't remember where I found this). There is a baptism record for a Mary Madden on 27 April 1869, the daughter of James Madden and Bridget Deane (in Tipperary).
However, on her marriage record to Patrick Purcell in 1895 her father is listed as David!

Of her 7 children, her second daughter was named Bridget, and first son was named James (possibly after father-in-law but not sure). Her other son was named Patrick.
Maria and Patrick lived in Shinrone, Offaly too - thought this might help with research. She passed away in 1958 aged "86."
Thanks,
Michael
