“Biddy Goggins was in Manchester at time of execution and helped in hiding Deasy and Kelly”
Biddy Coggins was in Manchester at time of execution and helped in hiding Deasy and Kelly. She went to America with them. They were dressed in her clothes. She later returned to Manchester to the cotton mills. Some Americans who were trying to get a cotton industry going and were failing sent for her. She went to America again and got the mills going there. Returned to her native place, Dromore, Co Sligo , and lived beside the chapel. Her cloak, which disguised either Deasy or Kelly, she brought back with her from America.
