And while I was at the Massachusetts Archives, I confirmed that
Ethel's mother, Mary Elizabeth (Mahoney), came from County Cork
Ireland. Her mum was Catherine and her dad was Patrick Mahoney. I
did find a Patrick and Catherine Mahoney on the British/Irish census
of 1871, but the listing I found did not have our Mary
Elizabeth. She seems to have left Ireland around that time, since
the records from the Archives show that she married at age 19, to
Edgar Eugene Reed, in Newburyport MA on 2 December 1872. And Ethel
was born, as mentioned earlier, on 13 March 1874. Edgar Eugene Reed
died in Newburyport on 6 August 1892. I have had absolutely no luck
tracking down a date of death for Mary, and you all know I am having
no luck tracking down Ethel after 1901. I still get the impression
that Ethel remained in England-- I wonder if Mary went back to
Ireland after her husband died... can't prove that one either... sigh...
