Stafford in Wexford, Ireland.

[DorothySandra]

Mary Frances Stafford b.1878 in Ballycallan (possibly). Married John Henry Cruickshank (though I dont know where) and I can track her after that to her death in the Plymouth Blitz in 1942.

[Geoffers]

Mary Frances Stafford b.1878 in Ballycallan (possibly). Married John Henry Cruickshank (though I dont know where)

Probably Dover RD in December Quarter 1895 (have a look at the GRO index of marriages to confirm this).

[DorothySandra]

oh yes. I've no idea what they were doing in Dover. Thanks!

[Elwyn Soutter]

LDS has a Mary Stafford born Oct - Dec 1878 Wexford, and a Maria Stafford born Apr - June 1878 in Wexford. You would be able to get research copies from the GRO in Roscommon which would give you the father's names and occupation.
