Ada Barbara Corlett
In Response To: Re: Corlett ()

I m trying to find information on an Ada Barbara Corlett, daughter of Henry Corlett, who were living in Dublin at least up until 1881, when she was probably at least 40. I'm writing a short biography of her for the forthcoming Dictionary of Irish Biography. She was a joint founder of a pioneering Institute for technical education of women in Dublin; her father was a coachspring manufacturer who patented a spring.
I'm having trouble getting much family information. From the names, they look like an Isle of Man family; does anyone know about them?
