Hi,
Thank you for your message.
Have you checked the 1901 and 1911 census records for Mark and his siblings? If you can find them at least you would know their whereabouts in the early 20th century. You can search these here:

You could also use church records to find information. Most Catholic records are held locally, so you may have to write to the parish priest for assistance. To see what records are available in the parish you can use the irishtimes website. To see what is available in St. Catherine's follow this link:
To see what is available in Blessington follow this link:
For Church of Ireland records check: http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.
Perhaps you could also try contacting the Dun Laoghaire Heritage and Genealogy centre for possible assistance-however a fee may apply. Here are their contact details:
