Biography

Ellen Mahony was born about 1814-1818 in Schull, Ireland (aka Skull). We found a baptism record October 9, 1814. In US census records, her birthdate was written a few years later. I am including both, so your searches will account for variations. She passed away about 1891. She is buried in St. Mary's cemetery. Headstone says wife of Daniel. He is also buried there.

We need to find records of them coming to the USA
