Fr. Lawrence was the son of Patrick and Ellen. Catherine Fitzpatrick died in October of 1861. That is why I believe that Mary Farrell was born in 1861 rather than 1862 as the census stated.

John and Catherine were the children of Patrick and Catherine.

Lawrence and the others were children of Patrick and Ellen. It would be great if LaurieA could find those too!

How do you know Catherine Fitzpatrick died in 1861 - when did you find all this extra information ?

I got this information from a death certificate on familysearch.org

I recently obtained this new information from a person who has researched the Farrell's in Philadelphia.

Mary C. Timlin was buried 18 Aug 1913 in Holy Cross Cemetery in a plot owned by Thomas Timlin. I took a photo of the grave site so you can see the burial place. The location of the grave is Section 16, Range 1, Lot 7. Buried with her were Thomas F., Cecilia, William, Helen M., William F., and Ellen Farrell. More to come later. It was nice out today, so I opted to visit the cemetery rather than spend time in a library :)

Goodness me what a list - that must be 4 of the children that were on the 1900/1910 census plus perhaps a brother William and Mum/Step Mum Ellen. Does it show the dates for each one LaurieA ?  :(

Wow! Thank you so much! That is very helpful. I will have to show my grandfather the grave because he would probably still remember what it looked like. I will send you a PM with my e-mail address. I can’t wait to see it :)

Yes, LaurieA does the grave have the dates of everyone because I think I know who everyone is on it but still, I’m not sure ???
Thomas F = Mary’s wife
Mary C = Herself
Cecelia = Thomas & Mary’s Daughter
William = Thomas & Mary’s Son (Thomas & Mary’s Son William’s middle name was T)
Helen M = Thomas & Mary’s Daughter
William F = May be Thomas F.’s brother
Ellen Farrell = Step Mother

I can see why Ellen is buried with Mary. Ellen was basically Mary’s mother. Mary never knew her other mother so she must have been very attached to her.

This is great information and I love to see it !!! :D thank you so much LaurieA

Please let me know when you find more :)
