  1. This must be one the "gems" you discovered on your recent genealogical foray to Ansonia & Derby, CT. It's sad that her husband was "away" when death came.

    1. Charlie, we did discover this on our autumn trip. My cousin & I believe her husband returned to Ireland and remained there. We can find no records of him here but we will keep investigating.
