    “Her maiden name was Hannah Gleeson.”

    Share Share Post
    Her maiden name was Hannah Gleeson. She lived at Crohane, Glenflesk. She attended Morley's Bridge School. They had potatoes and milk for breakfast. One morning she was afraid she would be late for school and she wanted to go off without her breakfast, but her eldest sister followed her and insisted on her waiting for it.
    Very few children had bread for luncheon. She often saw potato-skins underneath the seats - the remains of the childrens luncheon. Sometimes, she got a slice of bread to take for her luncheon. That morning she went off in great glee.
