The Mystery of Margaret 1; A mystery picture, a marriage record, and a burial record

Image
                                                              This picture was among my mother's things, along with the pictures of her grandparents, Ellen Kinsella and John Quinn. On the back of the picture was written "Grace." Apparently, through the years, the first name of the lady on the picture had been lost. Aunt Helen and Margie Allen's notebook, however, is clear- Margaret Grace was the wife of John Kinsella and the mother of Ellen Kinsella. Her cemetery marker is unknown, at least on Findagrave, although perhaps some dedicated sleuth can find it in person, along with that of her husband, John Kinsella, at the cemetery at St. Francis Xavier in Jerseyville. But we know that she is buried there; we have her burial records from St. Francis, from 16 April 1884. Father Hardy penned her entry "Margaret...

Ellen's Story- Part 4- The children of John Kinsella and Margaret Grace

Image
  Ellen was the eldest child in the Kinsella family. Her mother, Margaret, would have counted on her when the babies came, even when she was quite young. Our family notebook shows five surviving children that made the trip to America; Ellen, Bridget, Robert, Patrick, and Martin. I found one more daughter; Mary. No doubt there were more who did not survive those harsh days. Ellen was three years old when her sister  Mary Kinsella was baptized on 13 February 1837. Her sponsors were Pat Kinsella and Mary Reade. Our family notebook makes no mention of Mary. Did she survive or die before the family left Ireland? Or did she stay in Ireland when the others left? Another little girl, Bridget, was baptized on 1 October 1838. Her sponsors were Thomas Walsh and Johanna Farrell. After Bridget there is a five year gap until the next child. Were these babies lost, or have I just not yet found their baptisms? In any case, it a son was born to the family in 1843. Ellen now had a baby brother....

Ellen's story- Ellen's Aunt, Ellen Kinsella Walsh 1816-1878

Image
 Ellen was likely named after her aunt, Ellen Kinsella (Walsh), her father John Kinsella's only sister. I found out more about her aunt from a DNA match on Ancestry.com. Ellen Kinsella (Walsh) Ellen Kinsella (Walsh) was born in Kileavaroon to Thomas Kinsella and Margaret Kelter and was baptized on a spring day on 14 May 1816.                  Ancestry.com.  Ireland, Catholic Parish Registers, 1655-1915 With five older brothers, she was surely a welcomed addition to the family. She would have been 18 years old when our Ellen was born; a young girl likely very pleased to have a namesake as a niece. A few years later, she was married  to Thomas Walsh. This family, according to the baptismal records of their children, lived in Kilnaspic. So our Ellen would have continued to see her aunt Ellen when they attended church on Sundays, along with family gatherings.                   ...
