Florence Mary Winifred (Flo) Clancy (1884-1958) lived all her life in the same house in Kilrush on the street generally known as Moore Street, but later renamed briefly Clancy Street, in honour of her first cousin Peadar Clancy (1888-1920). Mary Ann (Cissie) Waldron née McNamara (1884-1966), whose mother was a Clancy, was supposedly distantly related to her great friend, but they were unable to document the relationship. By the time this letter was written, Cissie was pregnant with her third child, born on 5 February 1917 and named Patrick Henry Pearse Waldron (1917-2008). Flo's brother William Joseph Clancy (1879-1918) had emigrated first to Rhodesia and then to Argentina, but volunteered for active service in October 1914, and returned to England, where he joined King Edward's Horse, subsequently transferring to the Liverpool Scottish. He died of meningitis on 16 October 1918, while still on active service. Another brother, Henry Sylvester Clancy (1883-1942) had settled in Belfast, to which reference is made in the letter. Jack Waldron (1884-1958), Cissie's husband, is also mentioned, as is Cissie's sister Lil Waldron (1886-1973), who was married to Jack's brother. I have not yet identifed Fr. Moloney, the Colemans or A. Daly who are also mentioned.
