Patrick Dunne and Anna Mary Doolittle also had a daughter named Mary Anne Dunne who was born in Swords on 3 Jan 1891.

I have learned the following about Patrick Dunne and Anna Mary Doolittle's daughter, Mary Anne Dunne from Sr. Luzia Koch, General Secretary, Sisters of Divine Providence, Munster, Germany:

"On October 17, 1911 she entered the congregation of the Sisters of Divine Providence in Munster.

On May 23, 1912 she was received into the novitiate.

On April 16, 1914, she took her first vows.

She died on December 21, 1916.

She was buried in the cemetery at the Vorsechtungskloster in St. Mauritz, Mόnster."

There was a report on Mary Anne's first vows in the Wicklow Newsletter of 2 May 1914 on Page 7. The article stated that she was the "daughter of Mrs Dunne of Swords" and granddaughter of "the late Mr. Thomas Doolittle of Wicklow" and that her name in religion was Sister Patricis.

Hi there, I was very interested to find this chat! My grandfather was:
Thomas Patrick Joseph Dunne born 1894

I have been working to find more about his family tree- his mother's side were Doolittles from Wicklow, and his grandfather was the James Gregory Doolittle the original poster mentioned (who would have been my great, great grandfather.
Two mysteries in the family I am trying to find out:
- the parents/origins of Mary Anna Gregory, who married James Gregory Doolittle in Wicklow.
- more about the paternal side of my grandfather, Thomas Patrick Joseph Dunne. His father was Patrick Dunne, but I have no knowledge of Patrick Dunne's parents.  Thank you!

Sorry a quick edit/update on my post:
The original poster's query for James Gregory Doolittle- he was the brother of my great grandmother, Anna Mary Doolittle, who married Patrick Dunne and lived with him in Swords, Co. Dublin. Their child, Thomas Patrick Joseph Dunne was my grandfather, emigrating to the US and ultimately settling in California.
My great-great grandparents would be Thomas Doolittle and Mary Anna Gregory of Wicklow. I am very interested in finding out any information about Mary Anna Gregory-- parents, and was she a convert to Roman Catholicism?

I am dara ohuiginn, ex Dublin.  My Morhter was a McGahan of Wicklow.  Her father married Anetter Wall.  Annette Wall I believe was the brother of a Thomas Wall and an Eliza Doolittle.    I do not an eliza doolittle but I do see an Elizabeth who might have been the same.   
My mother referred to a Captain James (?) wall who died at sea and I think I have some information on that in an old news clipping.  I will go on a hunt.
Does anyone know more about the McGahans of Wicklow.
I remember visiting Wicklow town with my parents and seeing a very old woman who was fondly known as "Baiiie Kate".   There were many big strpping fellows around as I remembe and the house was on a hil up from the Harbour.  I have visited the harbour a few times since.
So at least one can now trace down from Eliza Doolittle.
