My great great grandmother was Sarah Kirwan born 1835 (I dont know where) but married William Murphy, a national school teacher from near Enniscorthy and had 3 children, John, Mary and Margaret. Margaret and John died young, but Mary survived and married a Walter Nolan from Busherstown, County Wexford and they emigrated to Mexico where they owned silver and tin mines. If anyone recognises Sarah Kirwan connection, please get in touch with me. Thank you. I think there may be a connection with a hotel in County Waterford called Boolabawn that was run by later generation of Kirwans.
