Looking for Mary Jane McKenna

[Ella McMahon]

Thank you all so much for your help in tracking down Mary Jane, I cannot believe my good fortune to receive such wonderful responses when I had so little information to provide you with.  Thank you all.

Keep safe,
Ella.

Let us know when you get Ella's marriage certificate. It will be interesting to see who the witnesses are.

[Ella McMahon]

I sure will Jen, thank you.

Keep warm and safe.
Ella.

Hi Ella,

Thought that you might like to see an image of what the houses in Duke Street looked like. One of my wife's ancestors lived in 11 Duke Street in the late 1890's early 1900's. We were lucky to find this image of No 11 just before demolishment.

Thank your Allan, that was so thoughtful of you.

What an absolute gem of a picture, they sure don't make them like that any more.

Thank you so much for sharing.
