Helen “Nellie” Feran

Birth Name Helen “Nellie” Feran
Gender female
Age at Death about 76 years, 7 months, 26 days

Narrative

Was there an earlier Helen Feran in the family of John Feran and Eliza Shields, or did Helen "Nellie" marry a younger man and lie about her age? But even while still at home in 1910, her information says she was born in 1885. She had no children. Did she marry at age 25 as it says on the record, or age 40?

I didn't find an actual birth record for Helen in the early 1870s or in the mid 1880s.
