Biography

Violet Florence Martin born 11 June 1862 at Ross House, Connemara, County Galway, the youngest of sixteen children of James Martin of Ross.

"she moved in 1872 with her mother after her brother Robert had closed the family home as being too heavily encumbered with debts on death of their father, a bankrupt; returned to Ross House with her mother, 1888, and made a gallant attempt to revive past grandeur, living as tenants in five rooms of the mansion" ^[1]

She collaborated with her second cousin Edith Anna Œnone Somerville (1858-1949) as Somerville and Ross. In both 1901[1] and 1911[2] she can be found with Edith in Castletownsend.

She passed away in 1915, of a brain tumour, in Cork and is buried in Castletownsend.
