      She mar 24 Apr 1766 (her age 16) to Richard Yielding and probably had issue.
      They mar at Rathkeale CoI church, Co.Limerick.
      Transcript says Richard is of "Ballybeggin", Co.Kerry, and she is of Enniscouch, Rathkeale, Co.Limerick. (Maybe mis-reading of "Elm Hill".) See other transcript. See other transcript.
      See notice in Freemans Journal, May 10, 1766. Says Richard is of "Ballybeggin", Co.Kerry.
      She died in 1768.
