    Hey Parsnips, you might be in luck. That's where I'm from. I'd be confident my dad should know her. I'll get back to you when I get chatting to him.

    This is what my parents have told me who they think she is...
    She is Jimmy Reilly's sister, (Jimmy is our next door neighbour and my dads good friend). They have looked up Ancestry & got her application for naturalisation in California -she was a nun! The date of birth is same, she died at young age, no Brown connection & no brother Larry.
    I'm pretty sure my dad will mention this to Jimmy the next time he's talking to him and may have more to add.
    Hope this is useful.

    Just got this reply from my parents.
    Mary Kate Reilly (Sister Mary Concepta) is only MK Reilly Rossduff. no other Reilly except JJ's & Eugene's & hills and none have that name & that timeline.

    Hi Scudster thanks for that mary kate reilly of rossduff isn't my friend's mother so if she turned out to be a nun there must be another mary kate reilly with the same birthday who was her mother born in another part of Longford ill have to start my search again its so confusing because my friend doesn't have much info to go on please pass on my sincere thanks and apologies to your parents for any inconvenience caused take care kind regards :-)

    Hi Scudster that is great thankyou i have since learned there was talk that she may of lived in clonbroney i found a Reilly Family living there in 1911 census with those names of a brother laurence and sister mary kate but the ages and timeline wouldn't fit to it been her mother but saying that this could be an aunt and uncle and grandparents of my friends mother so fingers crossed something will turn up kind regards :-)
