Notes:
Margaret Cather (1839-1886) was born at Limavady, in County Londonderry. Her father and grandfather owned the Limavady Distillery there where they lived at The Hermitage, a substantial town house close by. In 1876 Cather won a prize at the Dublin Amateur Artists' Society Exhibition, for a work titled "Forbidden fruit." She appears to have lived by independent means from investments on properties she owned at the time of her death. Margaret Helen Tyler was born on April 5, 1847, at Drumachose, Londonderry. She died November 27, 1869, in the Parish of St.-Brelade, Isle of Jersey.
