My great-grandparents were Delia Noone and Patrick Murphy, who married at the very end of the 19th century. My grandmother, Hanora, was born in 1897, or 1898, slightly before their marriage (possibly, because her mother was under-aged, and was apparently christened in the cathedral, in Tuam. She later married a Mr Canavan and had a daughter, May (Mary?), in the early 1920s - and came across to England, after his death.
Any help gratefully received!
