Elizabeth Dooley Whelan. Born 3/3/1911in Mountmellick Laois and died in 11/2004 Knowsley Merseyside, England. She is my Aunt.
I have recently found that I have an Aunt Elizabeth that was born March3, 1911 in Mountmellick, Laois, Ireland. Her mother was my grandmother Bridget Dooley also born in December 4, 1894 in Derryduff, Count Laios, Ireland. As I understand it my grandmother left Elizabeth in Ireland and in what situation I do not know but my grandmother left Ireland for the USA June 27, 1912 from Queenstown, Ireland and arrived USA at Philadelphia. The ship was the Haverford. As far as I know my mother never knew that she had a sister, which I know she would have loved. No one that I know of in my family was ever aware of Elizabeth and I want to know all I can find out. To date I have found when she was born3/3/1911 and in Mountmellick,Laois. After that at age 22 she married a Mark Whelan in Prescot, Lancashire in March 1933. Mark was born 9/27/1897 in Galway, Ireland and died 11/1985 in Knowsley, Merseyside, England. It looks as if theylived most of their livesin Lancashire, England and hada daughter Patricia A. born 1935 and died 1939. Another daughter whose name I found was Maureen Madina no dates, and it seems that there were 3 other children born to Elizabeth and Mark, with no trace of dates or places. Elizabeth died November, 2004 in Knowsley, Merseyside, England.
