Thanks for the information Shanew - I really don't have anything else to go on apart from her marriage and the pob (& ages) she gives on Census returns. Looking at her children's names, there is a Margaret (eldest daughter) and a Charles, Henry & Edwin that don't fit into her husband's family names, but they're mostly common enough names of the period (even Edwin was only a second name for her fourth son).

Nailer1 - thanks so much for that, absolutely fascinating & it shows that Rowsome as an indigenous name did exist in Ireland
