Hi,
I'm trying to locate my 2 gr grandmother maiden name. She was married to William P English and her first name was Catherine. They lived in Knockgraffon according to the 1901 census. She was born approximately 1832. Any ideas how I can figure it out? I've run out of searching ideas. Thank you!!!
Debbie

Hi Debra,
this could the the birth cert of her son Patrick P and if so her maiden name looks like Bates - https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_retur…

That seems like a pretty difficult task. I guess you could access national archives or call a professional in this domain that will help you for some extra costs. But in general, searching for information like this was never my cup of tea. This activity requires good English skills, in order to find the correct information, but I’m usually having a hard time with English grammar. That’s why some time ago, I started these online lessons where I can practise my vocabulary. For example, I do verb worksheets three times per week. Constant work definitely pays off, so I’m sure I will succeed. I’m motivated to improve my skills, so that’s already a good incentive.
