Comments

  • Our ancestor Margaret Fleming may be a cousin of Ellen. She was baptised to James Fleming and Mary Purcell at Castlecomer in 1829, although from her death record, she was probably born in about 1823. A possible sister to Margaret was Anne Fleming baprised at Mayhora in 1816. Unfortunately we don't have much information about the Purcells, but we do have plenty of information about Margaret's family
