We are searching for any information for a Nellie Mahoney b.ca.1865 and living in Buffalo, New York in 1891. Nellie's mother's maiden name was McDermott. Her first name was either Eleanor, Ann, Catherine, or Eliza. All were daughters of Thomas McDermott (b.ca.1792 Ireland; d.20 Feb. 1867 Ridgeway, Orleans Co., New York) and his wife Ellen. We are not certain as to which daughter married a "Mahoney" and had Nellie, although Eleanor does seem the most likely prospect. The only reference we have for Nellie is a statement in the Decatur, Macon Co., Illinois newspaper dated 13 Feb. 1891: "Miss Nellie Mahoney of Buffalo, New York arrived in the city yesterday to visit her uncle Henry McDermott of East Jefferson Street." Henry was born 7 July 1837 Ireland; d. 12 May 1914 Decatur, Macon Co., Illinois. We do hope someone will recognize these names. Thank you very much. Carol Warren
