Ellen Allender is my 2nd GGreatmother. Her spellings of her maiden name included Allendern, Attender, Allen, Ellendarn and Allander. Her 1st apparent marriage was to Patrick Mangan[?]. I only found out through DNA matches that he was a Patrick with correct surname, but cant find their marriage at all. My 1stGGrandfather's birth certificate states Ellen Jones late Manuel formerly Allendarn. So you can understand that I've gone round the houses. She states that she was born in 1836. In my DNA match, they have 1841, no birth/baptism for them at all but did find a baptism for 17 March 1830 (page 23) Kilrush County Clare Parents Francis Allender & Ellen King and it is blank, the Archive's Office have put Simon in but he belongs to the Family above the Fox Family. I've informed them of my findings, and thanked them for the hard work they do. Also there's a baptism in 1854 for a Thomas Mangan Parents Patrick Mangan & Ellen Allender. So I am believing she lied about her age with her 2nd husband if he was and Patrick Mangan wasn't married to her. My DNA match was through her son Francis Mangan with Patrick Mangan. Francis went back to Kilrush (1861 onwards) brought up by the Mangan Family he then married and had children and died there. No other Record has been found about Patrick except 1861 Bilston Wolverhampton Staffordshire England as a Shoemaker. As for Ellen, she worked as a servant for the Devlin family in Liverpool. Sometime in 1861 they either parted and she made up as being a widow or did he die? If you can help anyone that will be brilliant.
