I did the search for the Mary Oswald , but its not her, its a Mary Mcfarlane Oswald , unfortunately!
Is there anyway to check the irish 1891 census for her since her brother Charles Oswald in the 1901 census was stated as born Conway Island - or I wondered is it Conway, Ireland?
Thanks

As far as I know the 1901 and 1911 census of Ireland is available but anything before this was pulped due to a paper shortage in WW 1  :(

Found this -

Thanks ev, I had heard about them destroying the censuses before 1901 but wondered if there was another way to check births such as charles born in 1888 or if any districts kept any records ?
Thanks
