Individual Details
Mary Winifred Johanna GALVIN
(24 Jun 1902 - 29 Mar 1930)
Mary, a medical doctor, died at the age of just 17. According to a family source, she died of tuberculosis contracted while carrying out her medical duties. This ties in with an article about her father in the Irish Examiner of 25 April 1936 that tells us she "took her medical degree at Trinity [in Dublin] and, while practising in England, died of a disease contracted from a patient". However, her death record reveals she died of "septicaemia and meningitis", with no mention of tuberculosis. Her death record also tells us her address at the time was 98 North Main St., Wexford.
