Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has any information on Olympia Wigmore of Liscarroll? Olympia married William Murphy of Egmont, Churchtown approx 1837 and settled they in Liscarroll. William was a farmer and locally famed as a weight thrower. They had 4 sons all with the middle name Wigmore - Daniel, John, Stephen and James who all became priests in the United States (Daniel and John became prominent clergy in New Hampshire and Maine and Stephen and James died young). I suspect given location, names and time there may be a relationship to James Wigmore and Kate O' Callaghan of Liscarroll (though Olympia would be a very unusual 1st name for that part of the world)
