If this is your family, please contact me. Would love to know more about the O'Malleys and where they originated. Also, if there are any cousins my husband's family might not know about.

I recently found out that this is my family and have been working on the family tree. In 1900, Mary's sister Ellen was living with Patrick and Mary. I thought this would provide verification of Mary's parent's names which it did not. The only family that comes close was living in New Jersey and both Mary and Ellen reported on the census that they were born in Pennsylvania. I am going to order Mary and Ellen's birth records next week and hopefully the City of Philadelphia will be able to locate at least one of the records which will have their parent's names. I am still searching for where Patrick and Mary were married. Without the marriage record, it will be hard to find out Patrick's parent's names. If you this information, I would be very grateful if you could send it to me. I was wondering how you are related to this family?

Hi Susan

I noticed this post on Ancestry. I was wondering if the Ellen Martin on your tree might be my great grandmother I’ve been trying to trace. Do you know if your Ellen went to New Zealand before 1900, and where she died? Ellen Martin gave birth to my grandmother, Doris Gwendoline Martin on March 5, 1900 in Wellington, New Zealand. Doris was adopted by James Doyle (1852-1926) and his wife Alice Brooks (1867-1954) in Wellington on May 19, 1900, and became Doris Gwendoline Martin Doyle.

In 1919 Doris married Albert Harold Hanlon (1890-1982), and in 1928 married Francis Eric Quinlivan (1899-1986). The adoption record only stated Doris’ birth mother as Ellen Martin, born in Philadelphia, USA, around 1876. There is also no record of Ellen's death in New Zealand, so I assume Ellen returned to the USA.

thanks very much,

David Hanlon
