Don't want to spoil your fun, but I can send you a dossier on Owen's family,
including this (and a photograph) about your grandmother: 1903 FRANCES CARDEN. Born 1 Oct
1901. Clare writes (2009): Frances came second in an all-Ireland examination into the
civil service and moved to Dublin. My father was English and came to Dublin before
independence. When my mother told a Catholic priest in Limerick that she wished to marry
an English protestant, he told her to commit her sin in another town! Married J Smith,
quietly in Dublin in 1925. Issue Clare, John (died by 1995), Noel, Ann, Fred. All went to
University College, Dublin. etc, etc.
