Brilliant, thank you heywood I hadn't seen that.
In answer to your question, I'm still trying to work who Helen/Ellen's parents are - is she perhaps the daughter of Maria McFadden and John McHugh?
And is the Grace Sweeney buried with Helen and Simon Gallagher (and Dan McHugh) their daughter, ie the same Grace who we've just seen present at Helen/Ellen's death?
The Ellen you very kindly confirmed born in 1884 to parents John McHugh and Maria McFadden may not be the same one who married Simon, who was a bit younger (62 at death in 1953 so born around 1891).
I have so far also not found any children beyond Bernard John Ferry's generation (the fireman son of Grace McHugh and James Ferry who died in 2000).
From children of John McHugh and Mary McFadden I have Bridget McHugh (born 1875), John McHugh (born 1877), Grace McHugh (born 1878), Daniel McHugh (born 1880), Ellen McHugh (born 1884) and John McHugh (born 1885) - but only children for Bridget (Bridget and John McGeady), and Grace McHugh (Bernard and Grace Ferry). And no children from any of those 4. There may not have been any, which is why half sister Catherine/Kitty Ferry Quigley's family was left money from Bernard.
So that's where I am. I hope that helps? And such huge thanks for staying with this hunt, I've made such amazing progress thanks to everyone's help.
And there's still Nellie with the shop that I'm trying to place. But that's a bit tricky as I don't know if she was a Ferry or a McHugh or something else. I've nudged the family for more info on her
