I am researching the three maths Thrifts for the Annals of Irish Maths.  Lily taught for a while, where/when?  She married Robert McCaw in 1902 and moved to Armagh.  When did she die?

Annals of Irish Maths? I had to google it. What an interesting subject. I love the Annals and I love Mathematics. Sounds like a new project for the Ireland Project Topics Team
