March 31, in Limerick, of fever, Miss Usher, daughter of John Usher, Esq. Additional Comments: POSSIBLE obit also published in Limerick Chronicle; Wed 02 Apr 1851; http://www.limerickcity.ie/media/04%2002%2051-5.pdf; "DEATHS. On the 30th March, at Upper Hartstonge street, after a short but painful illness, to the inexpressible grief of her family, Lois, the youngest and beloved daughter of Thomas Usher, Esq., R.N. aged 11 1/2 years." Approximate Year of birth = 1839. Irish Family History Foundation at http://limerick.rootsireland.ie also has a church death/burial record for a LoUis Usher in 1851 in the Church of Ireland parish of St. Mary's in Limerick City. Believe this index record is simply a transcription error of LoUis for LOIS. There is also a Church Birth Baptism record (at same site) for Lois Usher d/o Thomas Usher in 1839 in the Church of Ireland parish of St. Michael's in Limerick City.
