Ellen Kennie (married London)

Ellen Kennie was born about 1815* in County Waterford, Ireland. 

She married Richard London [Lundon] in County Waterford.  They emigrated to the United States in 1845. For a time she was

a dressmaker.

Mrs. Richard London died on 31 Jul 1906 at the age of 86 in Shullsburg, Lafayette County, Wisconsin at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Hardy. Mrs. London was the mother of 12 children; 4 children survived her.

Her husband died in 1897 and was buried at the St. Matthews New Catholic Cemetery at Shullsburg, Lafayette County, Wisconsin.

Mrs. London was buried near her husband at the New Catholic Cemetery in Shullsburg, Wisconsin..

*Mrs. London's exact date of birth is unknown. One source says 1807 and another mistakenly gives her the birth date of her husband as 1813. The 1870 US Census indicates she was two years younger than her husband which would give her birth year as "about 1815."
