Hi Julie,
Thank you very much for your message.
Have you tried looking in civil records to see if you can find information on Margaret and her daughters after they returned to Ireland? Civil records are available from the General Register?s Office in Dublin. Here is their website:
http://www.groireland.ie/research.htm
You can search the indexes to these records up to 1958 online at:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1408347
You could also try looking in local newspaper archives to see if you can find any obituaries relating to them. The Local Studies Department of Wicklow Library may be able to help you:

Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.
Kind regards,
