Research Notes

Sarah appears to be on the Browne Family Plot Gravestone in Ballykeel Graveyard, in Islandmagee, however the inscription has her named wife of A.W. Kane. If Sarah was named on her Mother's will, she was a spinster at the time of her Mother's passing in 1945. Have not found a marriage record for Sarah as yet. ^[2] Boyd-10137 08:24, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
