Notes: 

The memorial states 'their daughter Margaret, née Flynn' which would mean their daughter was born as 'Flynn'... This lead me to do a little background search which may be wrong, and is open to correction, but a lady by the name of Mrs. Margaret Flynn did die in Dungarvan on that exact date and is listed as being a shopkeeper's wife, aged 30 years old, which would fit the profile. 'Née' in this case seems to be used to mean 'married to' so the memorial is remembering Margaret, daughter of Mr and Mrs Pierse Casey, who married Flynn of Dungarvan.... Just a thought.
