  • I'm not sure why I only posted this picture with no context.

    Elizabeth Malone emigrated to LaSalle, IL supposedly as a 15 year old with her parents(Michael Malone and Anna McNamara).  I have found no evidence of her parents in the U.S.  She married Michael Farrell in 1851 at St Pat's in LaSalle.  She had three children with Farrell; Anne, Jane and James.  Farrell died before 1857.  Elizabeth married Edward Foley in 1857, also at St Pat's in LaSalle.  They had four children; Ellen, Margaret, John and Edward.

    The picture is from the 1910's and includes Elizabeth, her daughter Margaret, granddaughter Jane Martin Flanagan and two of her sons, probably Martin and Thomas.

    I don't know where Elizabeth was born in Ireland.  She was my gggrandmother and Edward was my gggrandfather.  John Foley was my ggrandfather.  I also don't know where Edward was born in Ireland.

    I found an interesting piece of information from her probate record from 1919.  Besides her attorney, when she wrote her will, a William McNamara was a witness.  He had been mayor of LaSalle in the early 1900's.  Elizabeth's mother was Anna McNamara and I wonder if William was related to Elizabeth through her mother?

    Any help with finding where Elizabeth or Edward were born would be greatly appreciated!!!
