Note on birth year: the 1871 census shows born 1831 in Ireland; 1881 census shows born 1826 in Ireland; 1891 census shows born 1817 in Ireland; her burial record in 1893 shows she was 76, so born in 1817. There are several baptisms in Louth (where her children were born, but not necessarily where she was born) between 1817 and 1831 and without knowing more details there’s no way to narrow it down.
