Sent to a convent in Monaghan, why?

The marriage certificate of Bernard & Kate will give you his residence at time of marriage* and father's name and occupation.
* this might, or might not, tie in with the 1911 census record I posted earlier
Mary Ann's birth certificate will also pin down the family's residence.

" have a couple of accounts of Bernard's age and his age varies wildly between the two, I took a best fit :-)"
Since civil registration of births started in 1864 it's important to know if he could have been born before this date (in which case there will be no birth certificate).

Wow, thanks for all that 
I've added all the new bits into my tree. It seems Mary Ann had even more Aunts and Uncles than I thought!
Not sure if the Eveleen bit is just a 'wild goose chase' but, I found it interesting when I was hunting and it fits with the theory that Mary Ann may have had family in the school at Monaghan.
The mystery continues...

Thanks aghadowey, I was wondering which site you used to find all those baptism certs with such apparent ease. I am paying for one (not sure if I am allowed to mention names) and it didn't find any of those, all I had were the census records. It has found them now when I have put the exact dates in using your info but, that kind of defeats the point 
Also if you are ever on the Longford forum I have a mystery there that I could use some help with too (to be posted in the near future).

The records for the Gorman children that I posted were extracted birth records from FamilySearch site  which is free. I did a parent search (advanced search option at www.familysearch.org) and put in only name of father & mother.

Interesting house and building return for Mullaghmonaghan.
no 1 convent  head Mother M A Farrell
no 2 Industrial school head Mother M A Farrell
no 3 Boarding school head Mother M A Farrell
so which did Mary Anne go to,boarding would suggest fee paying.
