Sinann,

When you talked about her father's occupation and changing her name, were you referring to Sarah or Elizabeth?

[Sinann]

Elizabeth.

Sinann,

Got it...the Elizabeth born in 1868, not her mother. I've been focusing on her mother who lived with her sister Harriett (Boulger) Reid in 1911. Would love to know what happened to Elizabeth Sr. As faithful as she was, you'd think her death would turn up in the Catholic records, but I haven't been able to confirm anything. I did find an Elizabeth who died in 1923, but I can't confirm that it's my family's Elizabeth. 

Would also love to find out what happened to her daughter, Elizabeth. With such a big family, there's no shortage of rocks to turn. More fun stuff!

Catholic church registers weren't very good at keeping burial records and many deaths weren't registered so it can be very difficult to find a death.

I can see an Elizabeth Bolger died in 1923 in Dublin but she is the widow of a bootmaker.

Could she have gone to America to some of her daughters.

Sinann,

Good job on finding the occupation of the E. who died in 1923. Initially I thought it was our Elizabeth, so that's good to know.

As far as I know, only Georgiana and Sarah immigrated to the U.S. I don't think Elizabeth followed anyone to the U.S., but I could be wrong. Not a bad idea to double-check that.

Meant the occupation of the husband of the Elizabeth who died in 1923. Guess she could have made boots herself, but.....oh well... another topic for another time. Ha!

Might she have gone to England? Maybe to a relative in the Greater London area.

There is a death on https://www.freebmd.org.uk/ of an Elizabeth Boulger aged 86 who died in 1922 (1911 Irish census said she was 75).

Boulger    Elizabeth    86    Richmond S.    2a   588

It's likely Elizabeth's death was just never registered.
Where is her husband William buried? Any chance she's with him.


Just notice Kiltaglassan's post, looks like a possible.
Keeping in mind we have no idea where her sons went.
