Hi Margot and Cora

Thanks very much for your replies...I was hoping to confirm if Bridget Ruane of Gilroe 1839-1900 was indeed the healer and herbalist Bridget who had met with with Lady Gregory of Coole park

Bridget Ruane is mentioned in the following article:-

I have also posted any information that I have about Bridget 1839-1900 at the following link

It appears that Bridget of Gilroe County Galway is in fact Bridget the herbalist / healer that is mentioned by Lady Gregory but I do not have conclusive evidence of this.

Catherine Flanagan born Catherine McInerney originally married Patrick Linane in 1876

I believe that Patrick Linane was a brother of Bridget (Linane) Ruane (1839-1900)
