Limerick Chronicle,

She was very wealthy
(estate of £2600)
and there was a
dispute about her will.
The will was disputed by her nephew
Richard McCoy,
who said she was not of sound mind, and gave evidence of her eccentricity, such as wanting to bless the cows.
Others gave evidence of eccentricity.
But the jury decided that she was of sound mind.
Funeral list of Margaret Nolan, 1903, shows many relationships in the Nolan and Donovan families.

Some research "things to do"
