Ellen Rice Born c. 1837 Dublin Ireland.
« on: Thursday 20 August 15 00:25 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Can anyone help please.
 I am looking for any information on Ellen Rice born about 1837 Dublin, Ireland. She married Henry O'Neill about 1856 in Dublin Ireland. He was the Captain of the steamship 'Killarney'. I have a great deal of information on Henry O'Neill and their children who were all born in Sydney, Australia but not a great deal is known about Ellen.
 She died on the 19 June 1897 Sydney NSW, her daughter Jane Corbett was the informant on the death certificate and put her father's name down as Edward Rice but there is no name for her mother. Would like to find her parents and any brothers and sisters also the marriage date to Henry O'Neill.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks   :)

The irishgenealogy site has a baptism for an Ellen Rice in Lucan, Dublin in 1835 but the parents are Dennis & Ellen. There is also a baptism for a sibling Edward: -

Just for interest - not sure if these are the right family for you - but Dennis Rice is mentioned in a death entry on familysearch for a daughter Catherine Collinson and gives her mother as Ellen Oliver.

Hi miriamkinga, 
I'm not sure if Edward Rice is my Ellen's father's name it was only what was on the death certificate so anything is possible.
None of Ellen and Henry's children are named Edward or Dennis
There is no  Catherine Collinson or Ellen Oliver in the family tree that I know of either.
Thank you for the information, much appreciated.
Cheers.............. :)
