Going through older posts and noticed this one had not received a reply. By now you might have been able to find more information but if you haven't done so the following might be of interest.

Wonder if this is the Susan mentioned in your post?
Taggart Susan of Erginagh county Tyrone spinster died 3 September 1929 Probate Londonderry 8 October to Joseph Taggart farmer. Effects £1. PRONI Will Extracts (www.proni.gov.uk)

Looks like this might be the same Susan Taggart in 1911-

Same household in 1901-

PRONI has now put the Griffith's Valuation Revision Books online (PRONI link given above) and the books go up to c1930 so you might be able to trace the shop in Omagh, etc.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
