I was *supposed* to be working on my first #FewForgottenWomen profile this #ForgottenWomenFriday, but unfortunately I double-booked it with a migraine. If anyone needs a hand with the (Northern) Irish records, I'm happy to help, though it probably won't be today.

Some interesting stories emerging from our #ForgottenWomenFriday on the #IrishLinen industry

Let us know how you are getting on if you are researching

First document I discovered for my #AFewForgottenWomen Ulster weaver lady today was rather upsetting to ME! Weird! But all part of finding out more about our (shared) roots, I suppose. Fascinating stuff. Thanks team! #ForgottenWomenFriday

Enjoying my new #ForgottenWomenFriday with Betty Ford, linen weaver. Away all day today AND difficult to find much at first BUT already I realise she probably wasn’t forgotten at all, so I’ll take that into account when doing this.

Few Forgotten Women word cloud for Few Forgotten Women Friday 17th October 2025.

It's #ForgottenWomenFriday and time to see what I can discover about Annie Hyde a Warp Winder, the lady I have been allocated today.

Fun fact for our #IrishLinen themed #ForgottenWomenFriday

In the year 1903, enough linen was woven in Ireland to wrap a six-foot wide strip around the earth.

Margaret Jane Shilliday for me for #ForgottenWomenFriday, she lived in Drumgooland, the family all were baptised/married at the local Presbyterian Church

Hannah Cargin for me this #ForgottenWomenFriday - this is the landscape she would have known.
