Neli, Your story is amazing as I know of the people you refer to. I once lived quite close to where Mary Ann Donohue lived in Urble. I am related to Katie Gorman who married Bernard. It's true their home was burned accidentally and their daughter was sent to a convent in Monaghan although she left some time later and went to live with Mary Ann. She is buried in Bruskey graveyard and attended school in Bruskey with the late Fr. Gerard Smith (this was confirmed by him). As regards what happened to their farm I don't have any information. As well I know Katie had a twin sister Bridget who was married to a Bartley Lynch, Mullahoran. Kind regards, Murphody.
