Hello, My name is Keith Cunningham. Elizabeth is my Great Greandmother on my Father's side. She was born 17 March 1883 in Bandon County Cork. She moved to Scotland, married in 1904, and raised a family. She died 23 Dec 1967.
I am unable to connect her with her parents from any records I have found in scotland, so I'm thinking I need to get a researcher on the ground. Is there a group here or perhaps a website that might list family history researchers in the Cork Area?
Thank you in advance for your help and time!

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
If Elizabeth was from Bandon possibly the baptismal record below is for her. Let me know. By the way, March 17th and December 25th birthdays are always a red flag.

Hello Roger. Thank you for your kind reply and baptism reference. I'll check into that.
March 17 - St Patrick's day - Thank you for clarifying that. I have a picture of her headstone with the dates on it from ardrossan Ayrshire Scotland, but that doesn't mean it is correct. I'll have to see whatelse I can find.
Thanks again and I do wish you and the best.
