Maria McNally

[Polly19]

Kate's entry in 1901 Irish census has a space between the Mc and the Nally
I'm certain that she was a sister (maybe a half sister) of Margaret May's.

I'll follow up on the second London birth (east London) and see if its the correct one.

I think its back to the drawing board - the school register at PRONI may throw something up for me.

Thanks for all the help

Yes, I found Kate in the census and have already tried McNally and Mc Nally for 1891 

Good luck with the school enquiries and please let us know if you find anything.

To Polly19

My grandmother was Margaret May (Cunningham), and her sister was Kate. I believe we have the same people in common on your post. I know her mother's last name was McNally and understand my grandmother was born out of wedlock. Father was James Cunningham, which is why she was raised by Patrick and Catherine Cunningham in Newcastle, County Down, Ireland. She was in contact most of her life with Kate, but I have little knowledge of Kate other than her married name may have been Green (?).

What information do you have of Maria McNally?  I know there was a McNally family in the Newcastle, Ireland area. I have a DNA link to the McNally's via a Mary Burns. Burns was the maiden name of my great grandmother Catherine Burns Cunningham.
