She was born in 1890 in Bushfield, Castleplunket, Castlerea, Co. Roscommon. There were 14 children in all - including a Patrick & an Ellie, who married a Patrick FINNIGAN. Thomas Hughes, who was born in 1867, in Cloonsfad ?, Kittville ?, Castlerea, was the son of John HUGHES & Ellen STAUNTON. We have some similar names in our lines, so perhaps we can make a connection somewhere.
