When was the last child born, did she have kids every two years and stopped when widowed? That may be able to narrow down a year? One thing is if you have close to a decent year, you can apply to the www.groireland.ie and they will do a bit of research. You will need to read their guidelines, seems to my memory 5 years around a date??? Annette Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
