The Times (Fri Dec 9 page 41) says she died Tuesday not Wednesday. -- SGBailey 20:08, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Most articles said Dec 7, including the first one to come out. → R Young {^yakł_talk} 19:12, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

She was never Ireland's oldest living woman. Ulster is British not Irish. YourPTR! 18:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Ireland wasn't divided when she got there, and she was damn old when she left. I don't know if she was the oldest at the time, but she was probably up there. When she died she was probably the oldest person to have spent a significant amount of time in Ulster, if not the whole island of Ireland.--Cúchullain ^t/c 22:55, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
