Another question for you,Brian or anyone else.Do you remember the name of the Midwife who delivered babies in Castlebar in the 50's and 60's ? Was her name Mrs Mahoney ? I remember a lot of other great nurses from Castlebar who should be remembered too.Dolly O'Connor,Kay Duffy who was Matron in the Hospital,Biddy Lyons who did the ambulance runs with Tommy Moran.The Collins sisters who worked in the Sacred Heart Home.Wonderful people.Last question posted by Lisa Glavey elsewhere.Anyone know anything about this Midwife."I read in the new biography about Enda Kenny that his grand aunt, a Ms. Minchin, was a midwife and delivered both Charles J Haughey and his late father, Henry. Where was she from? I checked the 1911 Census but there’s no sign of her? Anyone any information? "
