Frances Crumlish was the daughter of John and Anne Crumlish.

She was baptised in Moville, Co. Donegal on 17 June 1886, Frances had eight brothers and sisters: Mary Anne (my grandmother), Denis, Margaret, Kathleen, Theresa, Nora, Evelyn and Charlie.

Frances married a coal merchant and undertaker called Michael Quigley and moved to Strabane, Co. Tyrone. She is remembered as a woman with a very strong personality, and has been described physically as "like a ship in full sail".

Michael and Frances had six children, Theresa (Rena), Thomas, Nora, Kathleen, Doreen and Michael.

Frances probably died in Strabane, but I have no further details.
