Notes
General:

Jamie says that she was known all her life as Ciss but doesn't know where PJ Quinlisk got the idea she was known as Gretta.

Here is a letter that she sent to her American relations in 1915, which was kindly provided by Jane Leahy:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

(written at the top of the first page, likely by one of the Harmons who had the original: "Sent to Chuck Harmon - Ciss thought she was writing to Edward, son of Ellen Quinlisk Harmon")

Silver Stream Cloughjordan 19 -2 15 NB: This may be a transcription error. It seems clear from ages of some people mentioned (e.g. John and Dan) that the letter was actually written in 1913. But other ages confirm it was written in 1915. Also the letter indicates the War was already raging so it could not be 1913. Not quite sure what to make of this.

My dear cousin, We were all delighted to get your very welcome letter. It gave us great pleasure to know we had such near friends living in the USA. Father, Mother, and us all were sorry to hear of Tom Hassett's death. But it was a consolation to know he had died a good Catholic and lived such an honorable life. Father gave the news to his brother Johnwho has already written to you. He had not written home for some time I believe.

Before I write anymore, I will tell you what I can about your cousins here in Ireland. My Father is a first cousin of yours. His name is John Quinlisk. His father was "John" also and was a brother of your Mother. I often heard Father speak of his Aunt Ellen. Her Fathers name was Big Pat Quinlisk. My Father is now 58 years of age - but looks quite young. He is the only man out of a big family who is alive. He was the youngest, but (for) Mary who is dead some years. He has three sisters living. They have big grown-up families- some of them are married and so on. I suppose your letter was meant for my aunt who is dead. But it came here as we have a Mary, but she is only six years and cannot read, write or talk yet. So I am writing for her.

There are 10 children in our family. The eldest child, John is 25. Dan 2nd is 23 years. I am the eldest girl. (Ciss) is my name. I am 21 years. William is 20. Lizzie is 19, Jim is 17, Kitty 14, Patrick 12, Tom 9, and Mary 6.

John is away form home. He is a journalist in England (and) is doing well. Lizzie is away at school and has passed some good exams. She is going on to be a teacher. Three boys and myself are at home. While Kitty and the two youngest boys go to school every day from here. Mary will be going away to a boarding school at Easher.

We have two big farms to work. Needless to say we are kept really busy here. Father does not do much work now. He looks after everything. Mother does the same. She is just 50 years of age and looks quiteyoung, too.

Father knew all about your Mother and her family up to about 20 yearsago. But he has not heard since then only through Phil Ryan, who washome in Shirrone about 3 years ago. So he told us all about your family. He spent a day and a night here with us and we had a jolly time with him. He was very nice, too.

Now I think I have traced up the relationship as well as I can. I think I could tell all about he Quinlisk family from hearing my aunts talking. I never remember my Grandfather. He is dead 23 years now.

I suppose you are well aware of the terrible war that is going on. It is awful. There was never such a war before. It seems to be only in the beginning now. What are you Yankees going to fight for? The Germans are a great brave people - practically fighting the world. They are said to be barbarous. However, they were cruel to the poor Belgians anyway. They left them wretched. XXXX a lot of people are in favour of the Germans here when they think of all the English did on (to) us long ago. Prices have gone up here at an awful rate on account of the war. Now as Father is writing to you, I conclude with love and kindest regards from everyone here.

I remain your fond cousin, Ciss Quinlisk, Silver Stream, Cloughjordan, Co. Tipperary, Ireland

She was no longer living with her mother and step-father in 1911 according to the census of that year and already had 6 half siblings by then. She was living with her mother's sister Winnifred. I have not included the details since it is irrelevant to the Quinlisk genealogy.

Notes
General:

According to Jamie, Maureen, as she was known, fell off a wall as a child and injured her head. She was never quite normal after that and had to be institionalised eventually after her mother died.

TNFHS has her listed as Maria Bridget on her baptism record at church but Jamie thinks it should be Maureen. They show her sponsors as William Quinlisk and Elizabeth Anna Quinlisk.

June 27, 2007: The name is also found as Maria in the IGI record supplied by Fergus Kennedy so I am changing to this today.
