Thread Name: Info: Harpist Treasa Nic Chormaic
Subject: RE: Treasa Nic Chormaic
Piper Peadar Broe was, according to information available on line ( https://ronanbrownemusic.com/780-2/peadar-broe/ ), born in 1928. So that gives you a rough idea of her age. I tried a couple of search parameters for the 1911 census, but didn't get anyone (I thought I would get multiple possibilities, maybe I should have tried "Theresa" with an "h", or McCormack minus an "a") Séamus Mac Fheorais wrote a bit awkwardly that she was "an accomplished harpist in the 1930s and 40s.

Have you tried enquiring of any of these organisations?
