<\/a><\/p>\nI was thinking that her father’s name was Timothy (or maybe that was Florence’s father).<\/p>\n
Here is the Ancestry hint for Ellen’s parents:<\/p>\n
Here we are in Boston in 1883:<\/p>\n Here is Warren Street:<\/p>\n This is in Roxbury on a major Street.<\/p>\n In 1880, Ellen was living at 26 Joiner Street in Charlestown with her children William, Margaret and Julia. Tina tells me that Ellen was living with her son William on Warren Street. That means Tina must have found him in the Boston Directory.<\/p>\n OK, forget what I said about Roxbury. This is the problem with using Google maps. I had already found William in the 1883 Boston Directory, but he was at Warrent Street in Charlestown:<\/p>\n Here Chrsn. is the abbreviation in the Boston Directory for Charlestown. Here is the right map:<\/p>\n The move from Joiner Street would not have been very far at all:<\/p>\n This is where the old maps come in handy. The first arrow is where 43 Warren Street would have been in Charlestown and second arrow is where 26 Joiner Street was It is almost the same Street. Here are the Streets showing more area of Charlestown:<\/p>\n Assuming those parents are right, this Ancestry hint makes sense:<\/p>\n I would be wiilling to accept this hint based on Ellen’s death record. We see agreement with both parents and her correct approximate age at death.<\/p>\n However, I am inclined to use more traditional spellings for the names as I don’t think the person who took down the information in Cork was the best at spelling.<\/p>\n There is a Barony called Kilmaine but that is in County Mayo. There is also a Kilmeen Townland in Cork:<\/p>\n This is taxing my knowledge of County Cork, Ireland. Here is the reference for Ellen’s baptismal record:<\/p>\n Here is Drimoleague:<\/p>\n Kilmeen seems to be in the right area.<\/p>\n I’ll say the place is Kilmeen.<\/p>\n But to check, I will look at some other places on the Baptismal Register.<\/p>\n Lahanaght:<\/p>\n Angrum is perhaps Angram:<\/p>\n Leitry:<\/p>\n This is what I found based on looking for what Tina found:<\/p>\n For some reason, I could not find this under Ellen Sullivan’s name. Here is the one Tina found:<\/p>\n These notices appeared on several days. Perhaps there are records in the Boston Probate Court.<\/p>\n Here are some cases with Ellen Sullivan\/Sullivant. I found these at American Ancestors:<\/p>\n It is possible that Case 69299 could be hers as she apparently had no will. Here is that case:<\/p>\n Now, how do I find Volume and Page? I found this record at FamilySearch. At the bottom of the index for cases, I see Volume and Page:<\/p>\n This was actually worth it:<\/p>\n This gives all of Ellen’s living children.<\/p>\n This says that Margaret is executrix and that no one objected. A $300 bond is set for Margaret and she is supposed to provide and inventory of the estate. I think that the inventory would be interesting if we could find it.<\/p>\n Volume 549, Page 151:<\/p>\n We are only up to May 10, 1883 and Margaret has three months to come up with an inventory. I wonder if it was ever done?<\/p>\n According to Google:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nWhere is Kilmain?<\/h2>\n
