So update: The census told us she left in the 1840s however the fashion in the picture is from the 1890s, so either she was extremely fashion forward or she left a lot later! Unfortunately the lack of information can only lead me to… idk guess 🤔 🤣
Would absolutely bate the head off ya if you didn’t wash your hands before dinner.

That’s such a nice photo to have op! If it was the 1840s, just imagine the Ireland that they left behind. Thank you for posting it!🙂💚
Looks very prim and proper
Have you a precise year of the photo? There can’t be many photos of that quality from the 1840’s.
