Info re descendants of Connor (Cornelious) Healy married to Bridget (1911 Census)

SligoAchonry (Sligo)

Seeking information about the Healy family in Sligo, I believe these to be true regarding mygrandmother Mary Healy:

Born in 1894;in the household for the 1901 census, but not in the household in the 1911 census, possibly a servant in another home;emigrated in 1913 to join her brother John in New York, then married Michael Griffin in 1919 in Detroit, Michigan;gave birth to at least five children:a daughter died young, and two boys were abandoned by the eldest son -James Cornelius - when his father, Michael, died and left Jim to support the family. Mary died in the USA in 1938, a year before Michael. Cannot get any traction on Michael Griffin.

I so want to come to County Sligo, if this is truly where my Irish roots first grew. Her death certificate refers to "Slingo" - grasping at straws, perhaps.

Any and all insight is appreciated.

Thank you for this; it matches other information.  I believe Mary may be the servant in the listed in the Davey household in Leitrim for the 1911 Census.
