I am looking for family/information about my great-grandmother Margaret McGovern.  She was born in 1873 to Phillip McGovern and Mary Ann (Honeyman) McGovern.

  • Hi,

    Thank you very much for your message.

    As Margaret was born after civil registration became mandatory in Ireland you should be able to find a record of her birth in civil records. This will give you a more specific place of origin for Margaret which will then open up further avenues of research. These records are available from the GRO, here are their contact details:
