Try searching for Olympia Mary Batterberry on ancestry.com.  As it's such an unusual name, she may be who you are looking for.  There is a picture of her with a Michael Murphy.

Hello John
I have looked through my research and don't think I can give you anything of much use.  I do remember seeing something about a Chalice given to the church in Liscarroll and I think it was to do with the priests you wrote about.  When I went there I spoke to Dan Canty in the village shop at Liscarroll who was very helpful and seemed to know a lot about the Wigmore family.  I don't know if you have any way of getting in touch with him?  I have a letter from Canon John Wigmore, who was Daniel's brother and talks about his grandmother but, unfortunately doesn't name her.  I am still trying to piece together all the bits of the family and have a few guesses which I'm still trying hard to confirm.  I can't see anyone named Olympia in my bit of the family, but I'm still not sure exactly how our lot are related to "Cousin Danny".  I know my grandfather used to go and stay with him at Highfort. I will let you know if I find out anything further.
Good luck
Rebecca

Hello, my name is Rebecca Wigmore
I am related to Daniel Wigmore of Highfort, Liscarroll. My great grandfather, James Wigmore was his cousin and lived at Feohanagh, just over the border in Co Limerick.  I have never heard of Olympia but know a little about the family in Liscarroll and would be pleased to help if I can.
Good luck with your search.
Rebecca
