Child and Family Agency seems to be the gateway to those seeking information regarding Social Services and past adoptions. Although not relevant in this case, it might be a good place to start.

http://www.tusla.ie/get-in-touch gives contact details. You may find that after the initial advise, information (if available) will only be given to your mother-in-law

thank you to all that have sent help and advise I shell try and solve this. Icould even be that a family member has take mary in. so i will have to start at the place i was given where margaret hendrick lived as a house maid.
Thank You All anita

Was she known as Margaret. where did she live as a house maid and when.

hi Sylvia from what the registration office in Waterford told me there must have been a mix up when my Mary Hendrick got married they had to get a birth and Baptism certificate and it was a copy and it looks as if my Mary was not born 25 august 1929 but instead may be to a Margaret Hendrick in may 1929 Margaret registered no father for Mary Margaret Hendrick, Margaret was a single domestic from Glenmore Kilkenny. Thats all i have ,all my mary said she was living at woodbrook kilmoganny kilkenny with jack walsh and katie (kate) walsh and may be someone called buby. there was meant to be a little girl called brennan dont know surname.

So the above birth I put on for Mary could be the correct one as she was registered April/ June 1929. I will have a look

This may not help but this is the only Hendrick family in Kilkenny in 1911

Residents of a house 1 in Ballywairy (Kilbride, Kilkenny)
