Even though it says Ellen was from Passes Green she seems to have been baptised in Dublin

It says Ellen's father was an M.D. (Medical Doctor)

Roger,

Thank you for the above references. Yes, I have seen the other 2 "Elizabeth b.1865/Eliza Elizabeth b.1867" baptised/died to parents William RYAN & Honora COFFEY. Seems they finally had a daughter they named the same who finally lived, who is my husband's Great-Grandmother [the Eliza b.1869].

I thought it would be interesting to post Obituaries of people born in the Old Pallas area that died in the US where it mentions the location.

Regards,

Kim
