Hello, I have one Eliza born ca 1833 Longford Co. Ireland, died 1881, Shasta Co. Ca. She might have come to California as early as 1853. She was a laundress at Fort Tejon in southern Ca. where she married William Nery/Nery. They had no children, her headstone read "Eliza", but early on she was called Mary...could she be Mary Elizabeth ? She never obtained citizenship. I know this is rather a long shot, but I have never done genealogy in Ireland, and could use help if anyone can give me clues. Thanks Frances Gandy Walsh
