Hi,
i'm looking for information on my irish part of my family, as i have hit a dead end in my research :(

Mary Agnes Reid was born in Manchester in 1872, her parents were James Reid and Louisa, i think both of these were born in Dublin, Ireland (i think the city, not just the county)
but i cannot find any more information on these, they were both born around 1843, give or take a couple of years each way
they were also married in Ireland, as they had a child in Ireland by the name of Ann Jane Reid in 1862
could someone help me find information on their births ( i know alot of the irish census' were destroyed in a fire)

Regards,
Joel
