  • Notes 
    • I've found a baptism for a Margaret from 10 Dec 1833 in Ballynahown, indicating that her parents were in the village of Prospect. I don't think this is the same Margaret considering the reporting age from her gravestone is a full 15 years younger (1848).

      The microfilmed baptism records in Ballynahown have a gap between 21 Sep 1845 - 23 Jul 1854, which this Margaret falls into.
