Happy Birthday to Grandma Eliza

It' s time again to wish a "Happy Birthday" to my great-great grandmother Eliza Cotter who would have been 185 years old this St. Patrick's Day. She was born on a March 17 near Newry in County

Armagh.

She had a daughter, Mary Elizabeth "Mollie" (my great-grandmother), who like my granddaughter Anna was born on Christmas Day. And, of course, my other granddaughter is named Erin. Myself, more like an ordinary three-leaf clover, was born on the third day of the third month of 1930.
