Elizabeth may have been born about 1847. See the notes at her death. Her son Patrick O'Rourke's death information said Elizabeth was born in County Down.

There is a chance that this is Elizabeth's baptism record. A Margaret Quin of Lisnacree died in 1881 and a Patrick Rourke of Lisnacree was the informant. Elizabeth was married to Patrick Rourke by then.

Event Note

When Elizabeth (Quinn) Grant married Patrick Rourke in 1879, her marriage information described her as a 'farmer of Lisnacree.' Evidently this was her father's farm, since the Parcel goes to Patrick Rourke as of 1882, then to Elizabeth in 1892, then to Elizabeth's son Richard Grant after her death.
