we can do if you dont mind helping
The only info i have is from the marriage cert & what i have seen on the head stone (says she was born 1887-Died 1969) but these dates might not be spot on as i am slowly learning.
Sorry she being Helen Reilly/Rielly?

Samantha Report 31 Jan 2008 20:18

On the marriage cert its states that the father was Patrick Rielly and the mother Mary Rielly maiden name Murphy.

Well we can give it a go but I'm not sure how far we'll get.

I would suggest that first you look for the marriage of Patrick Rielly and Mary Murphy as this will gie us an area & the ages of her parents however if they married in Ireland we are stumped.

Hi
I have now viewed all of the cert on the previous page and all but two i can connect to a member of family in my tree so there is only two that will need further investigation. Shall continue with the detective work and see what comes of it.
