Sandra,

I found this Record on RootsIreland (paid subscription)

Death record for Susan Bamberry; 90 years old; Nov. 29, 1886; widow of farmer; Kilmore, Eyercourt, Galway. Witness was son-in-law, Edward Walsh. Sometimes the names Sarah and Susan are used for the same person.

Sandra, 

The records I identified above might not be your Sarah. Per Roots Ireland in 1847 an Edward Walsh married Dina Bamberry. Her father's name was George. In February 1900 a George Walsh died in Kilmore, Eyercourt, Portumna, Galway. Thomas his son witnessed. Dina Walsh is shown on the 1901 census with her family in Kilmore. Sarah and William might be related to Dina and George.

Residents of a house 12 in Kilmore (Killimore, Galway)
