Biography

Ann Jane Long was born about 1827, probably in Gransha, Islandmagee, County Antrim, Ireland, the daughter of John Long and Jane Cameron.

In 1848 she married Joseph Brennan McMaster in 1st Islandmagee Presbyterian Church. He was a farmer living in Gransha, Islandmagee and she was a minor (under 21) at the time and living in Gransha. The witnesses were Robert McClenaghan and Robert Laverty.[1]

At the time of the 1901 census she was a 74 year old living in Gransha, Islandmagee in 1901 with her husband and daughter.[2] She was still living in Gransha in 1904 when she registered the death of her brother-in-law John Brennan. She was a 72 year old farmer's wife when she died of senile decay (certified) in 1909. The death was registered by her daughter Ann Jane Lowe (also of Gransha) on 26 February 1909.[3] She was interred in Ballykeel Graveyard, Islandmagee.[4]
