Find Ancestors

My Grandmother told us her mother died shortly after she was born, her sister told a different story (both are dead now)
How can i find out the truth ?
Catherine Walsh known as Kate married Patrick Buckley 8th July 1894 in the chapel of Claremorris, County Mayo.
My Grandmother Julia Mary born July between 1908 and 1910 (she knocked a few years off her age) How would i find out if Kate did die after giving birth ?

have you found them on the 1911 census of Ireland,its free here.

www.census.nationalarchives.ie

Do you have a birth year and occupation for Patrick as there are a few Julias with father Patrick.
Or know where Julia was born?
What was her sisters name and was she born before 1911?
