For your time-scale, other than familysearch, I don't know - you could google and see what comes up

?? O'Keefe Bernadette 1939 — 1939 Irish Births 1864-1958 Cork, Ireland

If she's your aunt I assume she is sibling to one of your parents? Do you have details of the parents?

Irish census 1901 and 1911 are free when you can get back to them

This is the record of that death in 1940.

The child was 11 months old and her address was Knockananna in Co. Wicklow.

She was a labourer's daughter and present at her death was a Patrick J O'Keeffe (possibly her father??)

Looks like we have the correct ones then - this is the marriage of Patrick and Sarah in 1935 in Dublin - his address was Knockananna in Co. Wicklow.

NB - A totally irrelevant point but I thought it a strange coincidence that the Priest was also called Patrick O'Keeffe - I suppose it must have been a vey common name.
