Biography

Margaret was born about 1838. She was recorded as a servant and living in Calura Wood, near Broadford, Co. Clare, when she married in 1865^[1]. Her father was a farmer and named Patrick. Given the naming convention, her mother might have been called Jane. Oral history is that Margaret was the local midwife and she travelled into Limerick, by horse and cart, to sell eggs. In 1901^[2], she was living with her grandson, Edmond Deedigan on the Fahy farm near Broadford at Lissane, near Broadford, in a building that was recorded as a cow house in 1911. She entered Limerick workhouse in 1909 and and died there in 1913^[3].
