Ellen Reynolds Coolooney

Hi, I am coming to Ireland for the first time in September 2020. I am searching for information on my Great great grandmother, Ellen Reynolds.

Ellen was born about 1850, presumably in Sligo although her mother Ann Tierney was from Roscommon. I don't know where her father Thomas Reynolds was born.

Ellen was sent to Australia in 1865 and immigration records show that she was a house servant for Joseph Robinson Esq of "Bloomfield" County Sligo.

Bridgets older half-sister Bridget Quigley was sent to Australia in 1850 under the "EarlGrey" scheme as a famine orphan.

I'm really looking forward to visiting Ireland and will be staying in Coolooney for a week.

Thank you

Kerry Clark
