She passed away in 1903 in Kilcogy, County Cavan, Ireland.^[1].

Research Notes

First marriage with Hugh Durkin

According to Rose's living great grandson she was first married to Hugh Durkin, then after his death she remarried, to James Brady.

Supporting this claim are the following:

• Her death record lists her last name at the time as Brady, but lists her daughter-in-law as Ann Durkin^[1]. This is likely Ann Durkin, the wife of Rose's claimed son Andrew Durkin. Note however that there is an inconsistency in this record as it also identifies her as a widow, while census records show that her second husband James Brady survived her until 1911^[2][3][4].
• She is listed as a sponsor for the Baptism of John Sheridan, son of Alice (Durkin) Sheridan her claimed daughter with Hugh Durkin^[5].
• She is listed as being present at the birth of Hugh Durkin, son of Andrew Durkin her claimed son with Hugh Durkin^[6]
• She is listed as being present at the birth of Peter Durkin, son of Andrew Durkin her claimed son with Hugh Durkin^[7]
