I'm looking for some info on the above lady and her family. I hear she was a bit of a character in the Boolavogue/Monomolin area and rode her bike, dressed head to toe in black, til she was 98. She died in 1972, was married to Tom Burke, had three children (one was my grandfather, Patrick) and her maiden name was Murphy. If anyone has any info/anecdotes about 'bow-ah' (phonetic spelling) or on my great-grandfather Tom's (the Jock) family (he had two brothers: Pat and Jim), then I'd be interested to hear them. Thanks
