Jane Gleason

Birth Name Jane Gleason
Gender female
Age at Death about 44 years, 4 months, 22 days

Narrative

When Jane Gleason died, the informant, present at death, was an Ellen Riley. She could be the person on Mount Pleasant St, Preston, in 1861, listed below.
If Jane's age at death is correct and Ellen Riley's age in 1861 is correct, then they could not have been mother and daughter.

And there is no evidence so far that they are sisters either. I looked at http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/ for the marriage in Ireland of an Ellen Gleason to a man named Riley and did not find one. Nor one for an Ellen Carrigan to a man named Riley. I searched the time period from 1825 to 1845.

Event Note

May 2018, in the index to the Irish Catholic baptism registers at findmypast.ie, I looked for
Jane/variations Gleason/variations, marrying anyone named James, anytime anywhere. There were four possibilities. But then I looked for James/variations Carrigan/variations marrying in the same exact year and place. There were none that matched any of the four found for Jane.
