Researching her birth family in Ireland. Suspect her parents were Patrick and Bridget Mccann in Derry Beg( Ballybot, Amargh census 1911) as her birthdate was 1899 and death was 1973. Mary margaret Emigrated to UK in the 1920s and married William Augustus Mercer in 1930 in London. I Would like to know about her siblings as an aunty was called Katherine and an uncle was Patrick. Both emigrated to Coventry in the 1920/ 30s. In this census her sister was called Rose Anna, not Katherine.
Thanks,
Karen

Just to help a wee bit. Here is a part of the 1911 census of Ireland that you mention. This may help others to help you.

Residents of a house 10 in Derry Beg (Ballybot, Armagh).

Yes I have these details too. Thank you for your help.
Just checking at the moment that the Mary Margaret ( in 1901 census) but just Mary in 1911 census is my grandmother.

I have found that Cross checking burial information from the cemetery with death information held by the GRO is not totally compatible. In my case the cemetery info did not have my grandmothers birthdate and I am hoping the GROs death certificate will confirm that it is my grand mother. And confirm the connection with Patrick and Bridget Mccann ( nee Fee)

Have requested certificate and hoping William Augustus Mercer has signed certificate. This proves our connection with GRO death certificate and Patrick and Bridget Mccann.
