When I read this post, the name struck a note of recollection. A little research on Thurles.info led me to the young Ann Brophy, a servant girl who was arrested in 1857 at 11 years of age in an effort to force testimony against the Cormack Brothers. The given name is a slight variant. I wondered if these Anne and Ann were related in any way.

Patrick, of course I can’t be sure, but there has never been any claim made by the family to that relationship. [http://www.thurles.info/2008/11/07/cormack-brothers-john-gore-jones-investigates-ellis-death/]
