Georgiana Moore was born in Dublin of Protestant parents on March 20, 1814, the daughter of George and Catherine Moore. Her father died in 1817, and "the family continued Protestant until 1823, when Mrs. Moore and her children [were] received into the Catholic Church" (Carroll, Leaves 2:37).
On August 23, 1844, Georgiana wrote that she *"became acquainted"* with Catherine McAuley in September 1828 and that she *"went to reside in Baggot Street on the 13th October."* ...
