Hi Tony, Just curious as to whether you know anything more on your Ellen McNAMARA's family. I have a Mary McNAMARA m. Patrick FITZPATRICK before 1829 (est. from the age of her daugther, Eliza FITZPATRICK, given as 30 on the St. Louis, MO, USA 1860 cs). Eliza named her second daughter Mary Ellen-a twin to Ann Elizabeth. Other family names were: Patrick, George, Margaret and Richard Thomas. Jo Banks, researching COLLINS/PURCELL, FITZPATRICK,/McNAMARA and O'BRIEN from Co. Clare. (probably around Kilkee).
