"Eleanor Henrietta Hull (15 January 1860 – 13 January 1935) was a writer, journalist and scholar of Old Irish. Hull was born in England, of a County Down family, the daughter of Edward Hull. She was educated at Alexandra College, Dublin and was a student of Irish Studies. On 26 April 1898 she was a co-founder of the Irish Texts Society for the publication of early manuscripts. Douglas Hyde was President and Frederick York Powell was chairperson and Norma Borthwick and Eleanor Hull were the secretaries.[1][2] Hull was honorary secretary for nearly thirty years. She was president of the Irish Literary Society. She died in Wimbledon, England on 13 January 1935, two days shy of her 75th birthday." From - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_Hull I was interested to learn she wrote the well known translation "Be Thou My Vision" to the lovely old Irish hymn, 'Rop tú mo baile' or 'Rob tú mo bhoile' - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Thou_My_Vision In Gaelic - youtu.be/WJ0aINUzMSU In English - youtu.be/Ic8cOtpbF1E Thank you Eleanor Hull.

Eleanor lives on in our collections and our events. This evening we have an Irish Texts Society talk, and as beachcomber australia says, Eleanor was a co-founder of that society.

Location will be tricky - she is probably in London.

beachcomber australia I'd say it's Margaret Pearse (the younger), who was in her 50s in 1930. Rather than Margaret Mary Pearse (her mother), who would have been in her 70s.
