Mary Bennett from New Market, Co. Cork
« on: Sunday 21 September 08 06:03 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for any information on Mary Bennett born 14 August, 1818 in New Market, Co. Cork. She married Timothy Clifford of CastleIsland, Co. Kerry and moved to America around 1853. I haven't been able to find out her parents names or if she had any siblings. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I would think she was Catholic as she married into the Clifford family which was.
Thanks,
Sara
Clifford, Bennett

Civil registration of births, deaths and Catholic marriages in Ireland only started in 1864. If she died in America where exactly did she die? Many U.S. states list information on the death certificates like birthdate and place, parents' names, etc. With more details we might be able to find information in U.S. records or make suggestions as to where to look next.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
