Can't decipher birthplace in Ireland COMPLETED

[shanew147]

allowing for the phonetics again (and the different mother's first name) ... this is the closest I see on the IGI

 Birth : Mary Anne Walsh
 Date: 11 Mar 1868, Waterford, Ireland
  Father:     Daniel Walsh
  Mother:  ANNE Culleton

The IGI includes some civil registration records between .1864 and the late 1870s. Walsh was, and still is, a common surname in Co. Waterford.

Her death certificate gives her names as Mary Margaret Elizabeth Albert mn Walsh and lists her parents the same as the marriage certificate ( Daniel Walsh and Margaret Walsh mn Quilton, so I think that was probably not them on the IGI.   She died in Nov 1929 and her age is given as 64yrs, so it looks like she was born in either 1865/1866

her husband who gives her place of birth as Queenstown Australia, (can't understand why he would get it wrong ) but I'm assuming this is incorrect as surely she would have given her correct place of birth at her marriage.

May be a red herring, but Cobh (Cork) used to be called Queenstown.  Possibly that's what he meant (with the registrar assuming Australia), and she came from somewhere near there?

Thanks for taking an interest but I think he meant Queesntown Victoria Australia as it was only 2 towns away from where she died, and the death cert also says 'all her life in Victoria', so this possibly indicates she came to Australia as a very small child, shortly after 1865.

Fair play, twas just a thought.
