Ellen connors (married Connell, friendship) from Limerick Doon or Galbally Limerick
I am searching for the family of my great grandmother Ellen Connors. I have a photo of her but very little information about her. I believe she was born 1810-1815. Her father was James Connors and her mother was supposed to be Eliza Cronin. I can't find this marriage recorded anywhere. She was in Sydney Australia in 1841 where she had my great grandmother honoria Connell. She was clearly on her own as she had honoria in the benevolent asylum and had honoria boarded out until she married John friendship in 1844.In 1853 she sponsored William Connors to Australia and in 1854 she sponsored honora burke. At her wedding in 1844 her witnesses were Edward Crowe a stonemason and his wife Mary. She died in 1889 and is buried with Richard Kearney who died in April that year. Richard's funeral was organised by his cousins John and Patrick Gissane. I believe Johncame from Nenagh, Tipperary and Patrick from Limerick city. They were shoemakers. I have found a marriage of Ellen Connors to John Connell in 1835 in ballyclough cork but I don't know if this is her. Her daughter married William Troy fromgalballytownland in Galbally parish. The strongest possibilities for Ellen's origin seem to be Doon ( where an Ellen Connors in recorded in poverty loan records), Galbally or Limerick city. Any help much appreciated. Tania Sweeney
