Biography:
QUIGLEY, Catherine (fl 1813-19)
There is no certain information. The Preface to her 1813 Poems is dated from Dublin. The book includes a subscription list; some of the poems and subscribers’ locations indicate that she came from Clones, Monaghan. She may have been the Catherine Quigley of Clones who was born in about 1792 and died in 1883. The Preface mentions “adverse circumstances” that led to her publishing the book. Her poems describe her as an orphan. (ancestry.co.uk 4 Oct. 2021) SR
