Born Harriett Helena Holohan, on 11 April 1869 to parents Edward Holohan (abt.1838-) and Ann Holohan (-bef.1901), Palmerston, Dublin.^[1] Her birth registration lists the location as Anna Villa, Grand Canal.

She married Gustavus H. Moorhead on 7 September 1892 in Bray, County Wicklow.^[2]

She died in late 1906 in North Bierley, at the age of 36 (according to registration record) or 37 (based on date of birth).^[4]
