Wow, yes I was most definitely reading it incorrectly. I was wondering whether she was Mrs Cunningham. I really wasn't sure what the dates meant. Thank you. This helps immensely.
There are several of us trying to crack this mystery. Having no success until now. Thank you.

Thank you. This gives me a good base for further research.  It truly extends my knowledge of Sarah and her family. Although the big mystery remains as to why Sarah came out to Australia as an orphan as part of the Donegal relief fund. One extended family member once suggested perhaps she had done something to disgrace the family. But that was pure speculation. I have not found anything to support this theory. As far as I know although living a subsistent existence in the poorer farming community in the southern highlands of NSW. She appears to have been a respected member of the community Raising her grand children after the death of her daughter. Once again many thanks.
