Tom Steele and Miss Crowe

Post by Lucille » Wed Nov 16, 2016 6:12 pm

Are there any opinions out there as to whether it was Ellen or Matilda Crowe that Tom Steele yearned over from his rock beside the River Fergus? Different accounts differ as to which name. Clare Library says Matilda, but gives no source.

Thanks

I've since found a 1867 Clare Journal article that confirms that it was Matilda Crowe that Tom Steele pined after.
