Ursuline nuns in Thurles, Co. Tipperary. After doing some charitable

work in Waterford in her early years, Aylward joined her sister in the

Sisters of Charity in 1834 as a novice. She left the novitiate in 1836

and returned to Waterford to continue her charity work in a secular

role. Aylward again attempted to join a religious order in 1846 when

she entered the Ursuline novice in Waterford, however, she left after

two months. The Irish Catholic nun was accused of kidnapping a small

child. She was innocent of that charge but was convicted of Contempt

of Court. She foundered in the Holy Faith sister. Sister Margaret

Aylward died on 11th November and she was 79 years old.
