Notes
General:

While P.J. Quinlisk listed Elizabeth's date of birth as 21 November 1895, the card at her funeral indicated a date of 22 November 1895. Thelatter was her date of Baptism and was probably mistakenly recorded as her date of birth.

The Church records show her baptised as Eliza Ann Quinlisk, with Sponsors being Michael and Catherine Quinlisk (uncle and aunt?).

121122:

Here is a revised transcript of a letter sent to Jamie by her Aunt Elizabeth sometime around 1987 (events mentioned suggest late November 1987) in which she mentions among other things an encounter with two young men she believed to be her grandnephews but who I believe were con men. I received this week a letter returned to Jamie from her sister Eve in which Jamie had written on the back of a partial photocopy of her Aunt Elizabeth's letter on 11 March 1888. It seems from Jamie's letter that she may have sent a second copy to her sister Mary but I have never seen the entire letter from her Aunt Elixabeth, only this photocopy of what appears to be the second and last page of that letter.

"snaps which are very good and....
How wise of you to take up French lessons it is a lovely
language & you will quickly imbine it. No doubt the children are
fluent French scholars now. Best to luck to you.
My great niece Heidi Kostan is not at Trinity College, Dublin
and loves it - she is doing Modern Languages. I have two great-
nephews at Oxford, one the youngest grandson of my brother Bill R.I.P.
from Chicago, Mark Quinlisk, and a grandson of my eldest
brother John P. Quinlisk R.I.P., David Preston from S. Africa. They met
by chance at Harvard & David knew his beloved grandfather
John P. Quinlisk must be related. Strange world! My eldest brother
never visited Ireland after WWI, as he had been told by the
family he must not go home wearing soldiers' uniform, by some of my
relations, who could not understand that anyone living & working in
England HAD to join up. Just as in WWII your uncle Tom had to
join up. It was all very sad, but I am so pleased to meet up with dear
kind John's grandson. Unfortunately, both young men are going to the
Perugia University after Christmas. They did not seem to be interested
in Ireland. David's mother, my niece, Winifred Quinlisk, is a widow. Her
husband was an explorer & writer and was killed in a plane accident a couple
of years ago. Winifred's sister, Eleanor, is also a widow. They all live in
S. Africa. My brother John loved your dear mother, who was only a
child during World War I & when he came to see me in France in 1925
she was the only member of the family he seemed interested in. I do not
blame him for not going to Ireland. His wife was a lovely woman - her
people lived in Yorkshire & there are evidently some still at York
where David & Mark visit. I hope they will come to see me again.
No doubt you have read about our dreadful Tempest. The lovely
big giant Acacia tree in the centre of my garden went & I miss it greatly. I
watched the storm from 3:00 a.m. when I was awakened by the unusual noise.
It was really frightening but fascinating to watch the huge giant of a
double trunked tree being buffeted in every direction, The branches & all
the other trees in my garden appeared to be doing a mad crazy ballet! I was
afraid the tree would fall on my flat but luckily at 6:30 it gave up the
struggle & fell into the next door gardens. It kept a lot of light from my
flat, but its shade was very welcome in the summer when we get such a
thing as summer! Today is brilliant, but it is very cold.
Well I hope you will have a very happy Christmas & not too much
snow. I will be with my friends at Folkestone, where I spent my Christmas [?]
weekend & enjoyed very pleasant weather.
There was a shooting holocaust at King's Cross Station recently & that, on
top of the terrorist horror at Enniskillen brought much sadness & gloom.
Again, very many thanks for your very kind thoughtful gift & my
love to you all.

Aunt Elizabeth

P.S. Please forgive this badly constructed letter
& I hope you can make sense out of it. My poor
old typewriter has given up at last. And my
writing not so good since I broke my wrist."
Medical:

According to information from Bridget Koston to Jamie at the time of their Auntie Elizabeth's death, she had sustained a fall but had earlier treated with antibiotics for a chest infection and these were the proximal causes of her death.

Notes
General:

Moved to US where she had many descendents according to Jane Leahy, one of them.

Email 20/06/00:

"Thomas Harmon married Ellen Quinlisk, who Ciss identifies as her father's aunt. A generation later, Michael's daughter Sarah marries Ellen's son, James. And a researcher here in the states, a friend of a Quinlisk cousin, found a ship's log that suggested Michael and Ellen came over to the US together in about 1851. From that I have inferred a family relationship???? "

03/09/00

BUT!!!

There is a great deal of inference needed to establish these relationships:

* According to Jane Leahy, she had an ancestor named Michael Quinlisk who emigrated to the US in about 1850-51

* Michael was apparently the son of a John Quinlisk and a Sarah Ryan and he was born about Oct. 1830.

* When Michael emigrated he was accompanied by an Ellen Quinlisk, relationship unknown. But they were not husband and wife and were more likely close blood relations. This Ellen would probably have had to been born in about 1830 or earlier in order to emigrate in 1850-51

* Later on, again according to Jane, Michael's daughter Sarah marrys Ellen's son James by Thomas Harmon.

Now the interesting part! Ciss Quinlisk reported in her 1915 letter to US "cousins" that her father's Aunt Ellen did in fact emigrate to the US. Are they one and the same Ellen?

Well we don't know from Ciss when this Ellen was born but if she was in the same generation as Ciss's father's father she should have been born at about the right time. Therefore it seems feasible that these are the same Ellen. But there is another Ellen on record born in 1831 (see data included) who could equally well have been the right one.

To establish the relationship we will need to confirm if Jamie's 2G Aunt married Thomas Harmon. Until then, I am not making the connection.

03/09/00

Ciss Quinlisk (see her letter to US relatives in 1915) thought that this was her father's aunt but there is no way of proving the relationship at the moment unless we can find out if her Great Aunt Ellen married a Thomas Harmon.

From: Jane D Leahy [leahy1jd@cmich.edu] Sent: September 4, 2000 11:34 AM To: Chris Morry Subject: Quinlisks Hi Chris, I'm sure glad that you are "mulling over the Quinlisks"! I've done that a lot of times, but not enough lately! I did read the terrific descendant chart you sent earlier many times, and did find some items in relation to Ellen that are inconsistent. I know what you are basing it on, and although I can't reconcile it, I also don't have a better "offer" at this time. What I would like to do is spend a few hours on it today and email you this evening with any thoughts, etc. It seems to me that Ciss's letter to Ellen Harmon's son is compelling evidence of the relationship, but although I have a ship's entry that would support the traveling of Michael and Ellen together in 1851, I can't be positive of their relationship, or even absolutely positive that the two were our Michael and Ellen! The genealogist friend of my Quinlisk cousin who found that datum said that a 16 year old woman would have not likely traveled to America by herself at that time, but that to travel with a cousin would have been very reasonable. Also, given Ciss's family's apparent economic circumstances, and extrapolating that to Ellen (I know, a jump of faith :-)), it seems likely that arrangements would have been made for her?????? I do know that Ellen Quinlisk married Thomas Harmon. They are buried together in Calvary Cemetery, Middletown Ohio, Butler County. She was b. 1836, d. 1908; he was born 1836, d.1892. They were both born in Ireland. I did just realize that I don't have their death certificates, which could be important information. Some I've learned have very little on them, but the potential is there for parent's names and place of birth. So many just say "Ireland" though. I will request those tomorrow. Just thought - there was a disastrous flood in Butler county (much of the SW Ohio area) in 1913, and MANY of their vital stats records were lost. I may run in to that, but will try. I did hear from the genealogist recently, and he kindly offered to help me more if I needed that. I think I may tell him of our dilemma and see if he has any insights to offer, or suggestions as to "where" to go from here. With your permission I will send him a copy of your chart for "Patrick Quinlisk". Cameron retired from an eastern university some time ago, and lives in California. He continues to do research at Salt Lake City several times a year, as well as almost monthly at the Ohio Hx Society in Columbus. I think if anyone can help me, he can. Guess I've written a lot more than I intended, but will write again this evening. Thanks once again for wonderful photos. I do appreciate and enjoy them very much! More tonight Jane

Hi Chris, Glad to hear from you! You know, what you said about Michael and Ellen is really interesting because one of Ellen's descendants, a g-granddaughter had written in a letter that was shared with me that Michael's daughter had married her first cousin!! But as I thought it couldn't be true, assumed it was an error. The Harmon/Quinlisk who I correspond with, Ellen's direct descendant, also made the assumption that I did - that it had to be an error???? The fact they traveled together would also lend credence to their possible having been siblings - though cousins would also seem a possibility?? It is interesting, isn't it!

I think I sent you the last thing I received, but not certain. I was about to send them to PJ and will send to you also. I received a letter in the Fall from Ireland and Nora included a letter from the parish priest regarding his being unable to send the certificates at this time. Nora said she will send them on if she gets them. I'll send a copy of the letters, too.

Think I will write soon to the Harmons and see what they think about the first cousin possibility again! Also maybe write to the US researcherwho found the first data on Michael and Ellen and see what he thinks.

Best wishes to you and Jamie. Jane

> Hi Jane and Happy New Year: > > I'm just writing to find out if you have received any new and interesting bits of information on the Quinlisk's since last we corresponded? I haven't been working in that part of the family tree for quite some time and when I looked it over this evening I was every bit as confused as the lasttime. So I thought maybe your archivist in Ireland had provided you with some more > substantive information on who exactly Michael and Ellen were. I had a thought that you might find intriguing. Ciss said she had an Aunt Ellen and you have deduced that it is this Ellen. But we can't place Michael. However, Ciss's Aunt Ellen also had a brother Michael (ergo Ciss's Uncle). Is it possible your Ellen and Michael were not first cousins at all but brother and sister? If their respective children, James and Sarah, who would therefore be first cousins, were to marry, this would be strictly against the rules of both the State and Church. But these things did happenand were usually covered up. One way to cover it up would be for two immigrants to falsify their relationship to each other, saying they were cousins and not siblings. Who would be any the wiser, with the kinds of patchy records we know existed at the time? This is pure speculation on my part so don't think I have any factual evidence to back it up. It just seemed like an intriguing possibility. It seems to me far more likely that a brother and sister would emigrate together than a male and female cousin. Any thoughts? Chris Morry 4835 Av.

Dear Jane:

All of this conjecture and hearsay may not be decisive evidence but it is bringing us tantalisingly close the truth, don't you think? I do hope that in your further conversations with Ellen's direct descendants you are able to acquire copies of some vestige of written records that will help to finally nail this all down. Of course that will still bring us no closer to the true relationship of Michael and Ellen, if indeed they were covering that up to avoid the wrath of Church and State. They may well have destroyed every written bit of evidence they could have gotten their hands on. But in Ireland there could well be one way of almost proving the hypothesis that they were siblings, by destroying the counter-hypothesis that they were first cousins. This could be done if it can be shown that Ellen didn't have a first cousin named Michael. Perhaps this is a task to assign to Nora. I doubt that PJ can help us with information that far back.

On a slight side-track from this, you may recall that Nora O'Meara was able to provide birth records for another Ellen Quinlisk, daughter of a Daniel Quinlisk and Mary Gleeson, and born about March 1831. Her birth was recorded as taking place in Knockinglass, a lovely village on the shores of Loch Derg, and her baptism was recorded at the same church where Jamie was baptised in "Toomevara" (spelled the English way). Despite these enticing similarities between the families, I am now confident that this is definitely not "our" Ellen, though it is probable that this line is in some other manner related to the family. Just thought I'd mention that and thereby set aside for the record one confusing and unhelpful piece of information. That leaves only two Ellen Quinlisk's in my database and I am now merging them as one and the same.

When I've made all these corrections I'll somehow excise the Quinlisk line from my bigger Morry database and let you have a copy. I'm not sure how to do that just yet but I'll figure it out.

Bye for now.

Good to hear from you this morning! Your project sounds great - I'm anxious to see the result. I do have a bit of once again anecdotal information from Kathy Harmon Nenni which came from her great aunt, Ellen's granddaughter. She wrote to her something that neither of us had yet heard. She said that James Harmon (Ellen's son) and Sarah Quinlisk (Michael's daughter) had "run away to Cincinnati to be married, as their parents were vehemently opposed to their marriage because they were cousins". ????? Would there be such opposition to second cousins marrying? I really don't know, but thought that was legal in civil court and acceptable in the church, but perhaps not. After mass this Saturday I'll ask our priest about that -see if he knows the status of that then. It does seem to once again substantiate Ellen and Michael as at least cousins.

Kathy and I talked for a long time on the phone and are planning to get together in May (she's going to be gone a lot til then - wish it could be sooner). Another Harmon cousin will be there, and we hope Kathy's two aunts - one is mid to late 70s and the other, I think in her 90s. I told her I'd really like to focus on Ellen! Kathy had found an obituary for Ellen and the memorial/marker for her and her husband in Calvary Cemetery in Middletown. So I do know for sure that she was born August 18, 1835 "in Tipperary Ireland and came to the United States when she was 14" (probably 15 actually). She died September 8, 1908. What would be enormously helpful would be to get her death certificate - that is, if it contains her parents names. It has amazed me how often they did not. Always a real disappointment! Yesterday after talking with her, I did request a copy of it - and think she was going to pursue that, too. She lives in that area of Ohio, so hope she will come up with it soon!. The only other "rub" is that in 1913 there was an incredible (1/500 years type) flood in southwestern Ohio, and lots of records were lost. There have been others whose lost was attributed to the flood. I sure hope it is available! Just thought, we should also pursue the church records - her death was after her church burned.One problem with that is that the priests in the rural areas of Warren County traveled and Kathy learned that they generally kept the records with them!! So there were maybe four churches in which they could eventually be "deposited"! It is of interest to me, too, that Ellen is buried in the same cemetery as Michael Quinlisk and his wife, Anna Fogarty. Actually my Ryan grandparents, Ryan/Melampy g-grandparents, and Melampy/Quinlisk g-g-grandparents are also buried there!! Maybe that's because it was Holy Trinity's cemetery - and they were all Irish :-)!

I will quit for now! Jane

Email from Mary Harmon Braun 01/03/01:

I found in the index, The Famine Immigrants List of Irish Immigrants Arriving at the Port of New York 1846-1851 , Vol. VII, pg. 418 a Michael Quinlak 18 yrs, on July 9, 1851 leaving Liverpool on ship New Hampshire. I also found an Ellen Quinlist 16 yrs, a servant, on the same ship. Above her name was a Catherine Ryan 36 yrs. I didn't see anything that would indicate they were related at this time. The estimated date of their births would seem to connect with the ages of these two.

Further to Jane Leahy's realtionship to Jamie's Quinlisk line. This may well be the Ellen Quinlisk who emigrated to America with Michael Quinlisk in about 1850-51 and who later married Thomas Harmon. If so, then it would be her son (James Harmon) who married Michael Quinlisk's daughter Sarah. I do not have sufficient evidence to support this connection, however.

It is equally likely to be the case as that the Ellen, who was the sister of Jamie's Grandfather John was the same as Jane's Ellen. Dates are about right in both cases.

As far as I know at this point, there is no relationship between either this Ellen or Michael Quinlisk and Jamie's line of Quinlisks.

18/02/01 The more that Jane Leahy and I have expored the likely roots of the Ellen Quinlisk, who emigrated to America, the less likely it is that this is the same Ellen and the more likely it is that the Ellen who emigrated was Jamie's as well as Jane's Great Grand Aunt, daughter of "BigPat" Quinlisk. The pieces all tie together much better and I may erase this little group of Quinlisks (the data for which came from Nora O'Meara, of the Tipperary North Genealogical Society in July 2000) frommy database unless they can be linked to the family in some other way.

180108: Fergus Kennedy spent the day transcribing the births from the Toomevara parish register from microfilma t the FHC in Nanaimo. He was able to find 3 in this family so far. "March ?14 1831; Ellen, of Denis/? Daniel Quinlisk & Mary Gleeson Sp.? Thos. Gleeson & ? Eliz. March--y 2-6 1834 ( A unique entry ??? )"

First thing to note is that the birth is only 5 months after the parents were married. This may explain the curious notation "a unique entry???"

310308: Rita Elkins paid 5 Euro for the birth record of Ellen Quinlisk from the Tipperary North Genealogy Centre. This is what they have on it: "In this record, Ellen Quinlisk of Knockiniglass (sic) was baptized 16 Mar 1831 in Toomevara Parish; father Daniel Quinlisk and mother Mary Gleeson. Sponsors were Jno. Gleeson and Ellen MacK (sic). Priest not recorded."
