Life
Margaret Condon was born at Maghna on 10 June 1868, the daughter of Patrick Condon and Mary Condon, formerly Ryan. Her civil birth entry reads "Tenth June 1868," "Maghna," and "Margaret," and describes her father as a "Labourer." Her mother, recorded as "Mary Condon Mother Maghna," reported the birth.
This is the first preserved birth registration for a child after Patrick and Mary's 1865 marriage at Castlelyons. Nothing in this archive establishes Margaret's later residence, marriage, migration, or death.
How we know this: Strong for her birth and parents; no later-life evidence is available. [1][2][3][4]
