Here's a link to the only Kirby family in Askillaun in 1901. Anne probably the widow of one of the Kirby boys. You could search the civil birth index on family search for the births of the children and learn the father's name (Louisburg/Kilgeever is in Westport registration district). http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Mayo/Emlagh/Askillaun/1604859/ Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
