The following bullet points are from Molly's obituary in a local paper:

• Received early education in Ballisodare, Co. Sligo
• Went to Stranmillis College where she qualified as a teacher
• Taught in Castlederg before returning to Enniskillen
• Married Richard A. Herbert, a solicitor, in 1932 and lived at 19 Darling Street, Enniskillen
• Survived by husband and three daughters:
  • Carmen (Mrs John P. Gilmartin)
  • Pauline (Mrs Brian A. Gorman)
  • Jane (Mrs Michael A. Allen)
• Also leaves three sisters: Louie (presently in hospital), Dorothy and Edie (both Londonderry)
• Two brothers, Thomas and Sir Arthur Algeo, predeceased her

Molly's father was a staunch Protestant and disowned Molly after her marriage to Herbert, a Catholic.

Herbert was much older than Molly and already a solicitor when Molly was still at school. He used to help carry her books to school.
