I couldn't find a Mary Ellen Dillion either Carlow or Kildare. Mary Dillon born 15 May, 1869 James Dillon and Margaret Reynolds #537 Kilcock, Kildare FHL#101186 Mary Dillon born 31 May 1870 #609 Rathangan, Kildare FHL#101207 .......................................................... Mary Dillon born 3 Dec 1873, Carlow, Carlow fa: James Dillon Mo. Ellen Carty #255890 Bridget Dillon born 21 Feb 1872, Carlow, Carlow fa: James Dillon Mo. Ellen Carty #255844 ........................................................... Note spelling differences. If the above is correct parents then Mary was born in County Carlow not County Kildare. www.familysearch.org the website for the LDS has a PILOT which does have Mary Dillon - with parents James Dillon & Ellen Carty There is a Bridget Dillon from Carlow age 28 who emigrated to New York 24 July 1907 Not saying this is the right Bridget - Did your Mary Ellen emigrate? If you need some help with anything further I can help you find other resources. Annette Code 'genealogy for fun' Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
