Hi, I know this is a very old question but I came across this thread in a google search.  Sara O'Donnell (Gavin) is my grandmother and listed on her death certificate was her mother Mary Kittredge and father as Patrick O'Donnell on her death certificate,  Same for her sister Katherine (Kate) who lived with her in Boston..  I am certain the family listed in the 1901 Census is her.  It looks as though the family may have fallen on hard times between 1901 and 1911 - my grandmother Sarah lived with her sister Mary Anne at that time and shortly after that Mary Anne was institutionalized.  I cannot find a trace of their other sister Bridget or where their parents (Patrick and Mary O'Donnell) ended up.  My grandmother and her sister Katherine came to Boston in 1920. From what I am told from those who knew her, neither would ever discuss their time in Ireland. I know this isn't much of a help, I was just so happy to find this thread.
