My Grandmother Sarah Jane Doyle had a sister who became a nun and I am struggling to find her death details. Sarah's sister, my Great Aunt Josie, told a tale of having a sister who became a nun and was involved in a bomb incident in Dublin. I do not know if she died in this 'incident' or not. Her name was Margaret Doyle. She is in the 1901 census at home with her family on Kilmantin Hill but not there is the 1911 census. I found her in a Dublin convent in 1911 age 19 which fits her birth details. However, that's where the trail goes cold as the order Nursing Sister's of the Poor changed their name and address. Finding a Margaret Doyle death in the BDM's without a date of death is too difficult with such a common name. I am still on the trail of the nuns with the help of an archivist but I wondered if anyone out there could shed some light. ???

maybe an email to one of these including a link to 1911 census might help unearth something
