Hello
My grandmother (paternal) , Margaret Maureen Smullen, came from Drogheda on the Boyne and must have been born between 1880 and 1895.
She married a journalist (Saturday Evening Post) who was born and based in Holland but worked internationally. He was my Paternal grandfather (Jan Pieter Hendrik {or Henderik} Reijers {or Reyers})
Their marriage was celebrated (possibly as a semi-official function) in New York in about 1910.
She died in the Netherlands in about 1950-53.
I would like to trace her (origin and relationships with other members of the Smullen family) with a view to applying for Irish Citizenship.
I currently live in the UK, in Lincoln and am 65 years old.
Thank you, in anticipation.

Hi Fred,
I see that you have added your grandmothers surname here, which is helpful.
I did a search for a Margaret Smullen in the census records. Results came back for both Louth and Meath. If you know her parents names and/or siblings this should help you narrow down which results are relevant to you.
Also, I listed some other useful websites and resources in my previous response to this message.
All the best,
Emma

There is no record in St Peter's .....Id try St Mary's Drogheda which is on the southside of the Boyne.
