Can you please change the title of this page to Margaret O'Carroll, as she was a Gaelic Irish noblewoman who was known in many of the historical sources and in modern historiography by her maiden name Mairgréag Ní Chearbhaill or Margaret O'Carroll, not by her husband's name, 'O'Connor'. See for example, the fifteenth-century entry in the Annals of Connacht which refer to her as daughter of O Cerbaill. Also see Katharine Simms' entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and Elizabeth Fitzpatrick's article: 'Mairgréag an-Einigh Ó Cearthaill 'the best of the women of the Gaedhil, Journal of the Kildare Archaeological Society, 18 (1992-3), pp 20-38. Many thanks. Notairesenchae (talk) 12:36, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to re-state the request above - this woman was not called O'Connor in the majority of sources written in her lifetime, nor in the modern historiography. It is more accurate and less anachronistic to call her O'Carroll. Srbswansea (talk) 16:29, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
