Mark, you might try working from the most recent event in her life and working back. You might try to find an obituary, or a citizenship application, or census records here in the United States. The 1880 census is available on-line at lds.org and is available to everyone You might also try census records before and after that date. However, the 1890 census was almost completely destroyed by a fire. Most Family History Centers would have a microfilm copy of the census available by ordering from the main Family History Center in Salt Lake City for a nominal fee. There is a list of Family History Centers available at lds.org also. They are open to the public. Also, a marrage record may or may not tell you something. I hope this will be of some help to you.

Thanks Elayne, I already have a lot of U.S. information, including most of the references you listed , and I know she was married in 1852 to Arthur James Grover in London, England. I have a copy of a baptismal certificate with the name "Anne Coyle" listing her parents as Bridget McCabe and Thomas Coyle. It gives her birthdate as 1832, but the obituary I have gives a birthdate of 1834. In all probability this is the correct person, but I am trying for more verification. What I am looking for is information relating to her (and my) ancestors in County Meath specifically and in Ireland generally. > -----Original Message----- > From: Charles & Elayne Roberts [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 9:45 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [MEATH] Coyle > > > Mark, you might try working from the most recent event in her > life and working back.
