Ardgillan Castle

This is Argillan Castle, near Balbriggan.
Thanks to some research by Joe Curtis, it seems that Jane McCann (Carvin) lived on the estate, as her father was the gardener for the house.

The cottage shown is the gardeners house, so this is where Jane lived with her parents before marrying Edward.

It is also quite interesting to note that Jane was born in Whitechapel, Middlesex and both her brothers (William & Charles) were born in London. It is also is possible that she named two of her sons after her brothers.
