From a large Irish Catholic family? I have a great-grand aunt named Agnes, sister to my great grandmother Teresa (Nolan) Rice. The dates you've given indicate you could be her child, if she remained unmarried and therefore gave you her maiden name. Do you know anything more about her that would help us determine if she was your mother?
