Madam, – In the after-glow of the historic visit of the 85-year-old Queen Elizabeth to Trinity College, may I, as a 69-year-old PhD student at the college researching the history of the Brigidine Order in Ireland and Australia (1807 -1922) use the auspices of your august paper in the hope that some of your readers may hold, or know of archival material relating to both their founder Daniel Delany, Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin (1783-1814), and their early directress, the elusive Miss Judith Wogan Browne or Judith Browne.
I would be most appreciative of access to any such material. If any former lay sisters, or families of same, would care to contact me about their experiences I would be most grateful. Please email me at feuerpower@gmail.com or write to me at the address below. – Yours, etc,
