Pleased for you that you've found the info you were looking for but it's certainly very sad.

The first mention of 'Margaret Carr or Carroll' on the British newspaper website was in July 1875 (and the last in 1902) so she was definitely associated with Owen Carroll before she went into prison ... (looks as if that was in May 1876 ... for stealing a shawl) ahead of Mary Ann Carr/Carroll's birth.

extremely sad..I downloaded about 20 of the articles last night, most of them were of Margaret. She seems a very violent drunk, some of the incidents especially where the children are involved are awful.
There was a later one in 1915 where Mary Ann had who had been convicted on cruelty to her children had broke her probation bond & sentenced to 4 months in prison. I certainly didn't expect to find anything like this, it's shocking.
