Riley - Allen - Bird
« on: Tuesday 09 March 04 16:59 UTC (UK) »
All families have a dark side and it seems that I have just unearthed mine!

Martin Riley (born 1844 in Ireland) and Annie/Hannah Allen (born 1840 or 1841 in England) were married in Warwickshire in October 1867.

Annie lived in Knowle at the time of her marriage to Martin. Annie's father's name was William.

Martin and Annie had three children William (1868), Mary (1871) and Elizabeth (1874).

The family came to Minnesota in 1879 as part of the Irish Catholic Colonization Organization. Annie died in 1881 and Martin was shot and killed four years later by his son William.

There was abuse in this family as documented in court papers from the murder trial. I have wondered if Annie Allen Riley had any siblings. In the 1851 census there is a family with a daughter Hannah Allen age 10, son Henry and father named William.

Martin and Annie's marriage certificate lists the witnesses as Martin and Sarah Bird. I suspect that it's possible that one of the witnesses was related to Anne, but again I am not certain. Martin and Annie were Catholics and were married at The Abbey in Aston.

Any relatives out there?
