(sic - see below) Deceased was a native of County Armagh, Ireland. has been a resident of this district for over 40 years." -- FindAGrave Her age given at death is chronologically impossible. It would mean she was only 9 years old when she married andn 10 years old when she gave birth to her first son. Realistically, she probably shaved ten years off her actual age.
