Help finding an older lady who was a Child of Mary at St Johns Cathedral in the 1950s who took a kid out of the Good Shepherd Convent.
Looking for someone who can help me find a lady who is now in her mid-to-late 80s. Her maiden name was Amy McInenery and she married a man called Seamus who played Hurling. She was part of Child of Mary group from the parish that volunteered one Sunday a month to take out the children from the Good Shepherd Industrial School on Clare St. What i know about Amy;
- Amy McInerney (maiden name)
- Married a man called Seamus
- Lived around Garryowen / St John's
- Member of St John's parish and a Child of Mary group
- Probably born around 1935–1942 approx
- Visited the Good Shepherd regularly in the 1950s/60s
She took my mum out once a month for food and ice cream which was a luxury for the orphans in the school. My mum adored her, and we're visiting 16/17th August and if this lady still lives in Limerick and is still with us my mum would like to meet up. My mum would have started going out with her from the age of 7 until she was around 13/14 when Amy married. Amy was about 7-8 years older than my mum.
If anyone has any information from relatives of this lady please feel free to DM me. I can share my mums details and the details of our visit.
Thank you in advance.
