Myra, or Alice, Biddulph [1877-1877], Kilmainham, Dublin

Myra Biddulph was the daughter of Francis Edward Biddulph, Brevet-Major, 9^th Regiment, and his wife Annabella. She is a mystery as, while there is no mention of a Myra in the family, she appears as Myra in the official civil records.  She is believed to have been called Alice by the family. There are no civil records of a birth or a death of Alice. Possibly she was called after her sister Isabella Alice who died in Pembroke Dock in 1875.

Myra, or Alice, was born on the 29^th of August 1877, in Rosemount, New Kilmainham, Dublin.

Biddulph - August 29th, at Rosemount, New Kilmainham, the wife of Captain F.E. Biddulph, 9th Regiment, of a daughter, who survived her birth only two days.

 

She was buried on the 4^th of September 1877 in Grangegorman Military Cemetery.

Myra Biddulph, bur. 4 Sept 1877, age 3 days, infant daughter of Corp. Biddulph, 9th Regiment.[1]

What grief there must have been at the death of another child after the sad deaths in Wales.
