Thanks - that Michael Brophy is my grandfather.
No luck with the searching using just initials - the are three females with the A B initials, born in dublin and RC but none are 14. All are either in hospital or workhouse school. I guess at the time, 14 would be quite old for a girl of working class background to be in a school.
There are 6 Brophy females, 14 y/o, born in dublin and RC but all are daughters of the head of household and none are Anne.
Possible that Anne was adopted? She would have been about 9 when her mother went into the workhouse. How easy would it be to follow an adoption from those times?
Thanks for the advice
Mike
