Date of birth (or baptism) could be 29January 1816. 1851 census in England age shown as 34 (born c1816?). Age shown as 66 when death registered (died 28 March 1885).
Married in Catholic Church, Nenagh 27 September 1834 to William Baldwin a soldier in the 36th Foot which was stationed in Nenagh 1833 - 1834.
A son William was baptised in Nenagh 15 August 1836 When Sarah was probably living with her parents in Nenagh while husband was serving overseas. Is Sarah's father Thomas Shiel who lived in Grace's Street, Nenagh. Or was she living with Philip (a possible brother) and Sally Shiel who were also living in Nenagh between 1831and 1839 when their children were baptised.
