I am looking for Mary Anne Farren from Ireland, Moville, born about 1890. She went through Ellis island on 20th April 1908 on the USS California.

Also her sisters Nellie/Ellen b1897 (22nd Sept 1912, Columbia) and Elizabeth/Lizzie/Lillie b1898 (12th Oct 1913, Cameronia).

Thanks very much for helping.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Mary could read and write according to the Irish census of 1901, and her Mother Jane was born in Donegal ireland. Her Father John was born in Ireland.

She and her sister Elizabeth went over as Nuns. Elizabeth died shortly after getting to the USA (year unknown).

Ellen did not and married to a Shultz (spelling may be wrong).

In case it helps, the passenger list says that Mary was going to join her father John Farren, 352 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, New York.
