Oh that is a turn around from the usual Ros. Perhaps she followed a family that she worked with or did she follow a young man. Hope you find something out sounds interesting. Germaine x

3rd time I`ve written this and computer`s cut out! I I was looking for my greatgrandmother in Ireland and Family Ulster did a search -couldn`t find her . Now Bernice and Jane have found them in Warwickshire in 1871 and 1881. Now why would a young girl go to Ireland to work as a maid in 1890`s from Warwickshire? Ros
