Ellen Culleton born 9 Sep 1862 Neamstown, Wexford
Ellen Culliton is my great grandmother, my mom's dad's mother ane I'm interested in knowing more about her life there before immigrating to the USA. I'm also very interested in knowing much more about her parents and her siblings who, I think, continued to live in that area for the rest of their lives. I have her mom as Mary Hanlon (b about 1840) and her dad as William J Culleton (born about 1836, died June 1921)
Ellen was the oldest of seven children. Ellen married John Kehoe in Mulrankin, Wexford on 19 Oct 1884.
John's father was Richard Kehoe (b 1835), a fisherman, who was alive when the marriage took place of his son, John to Ellen Culliton on 19 Oct 1884. I do not know the name of John's mother and hoped that it might be in the marriage records. Family history indicates it was a Roman Catholic marriage. John was born 31 May 1864 and died 2 Jun 1931. John was my mother's grandfather (her father's father). I have very little other information.
John immigrated to the USA in 1887 or 1889 (according to the 1900 and 1910 census), living in Cleveland Ohio. He became a blacksmith when he came to the USA. He may have lived in New York for some time immediately after arrival in the USA.
John's wife, Ellen (Culliton) Kehoe (b 9 Sep 1862 in Neamstown, Wexford) and son William Joseph Kehoe (b 25 Jul 1886 probably in Mulrankin, Wexford) arrived in the USA in 1890, a year after John, according to the 1910 census. William was born in Ireland and all of John and Ellen's younger children were born in Cleveland Ohio. Ellen had 12 children, 8 of whom were living according to the 1910 census.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
