1549. Ellen "Helen" Hollingsworth
Witnesses to the wedding were John Newsom and Sarah Nolan. Ellen signed her name "Ellen Proule, otherwise Hollingsworth". Ellen at the time of her marriage was living a 34 Jervis Street, Dublin, she shows no listing for rank or profession.
It appears Fannie brought up her sister Ellen's daughter Anna Frances Perolze/Saunderson, after Fanny lost her own child and couldn't have any more children. Fanny also married a Perolze. That is why Anna Frances had Perolze included in her name but she was the child of Ellen (Hollingsworth) Perolze and Donald Saunderson.
After tracking the Donald and Ellen (Hollingsworth) Saunderson family to Wales in the UK 1891 Census - I continued to try and find them in Wales.
Husband Donald Saunderson (a Mariner originally from County Durham, UK) by family lore supposedly was lost at sea at sometime - which would have had to been after 1891 - perhaps this event caused the remaining family to return to Dublin - where they resided until their deaths on N. Summer Street.
Just some recent correspondence that opened up the results of my previous searches for the relatives of Cora - no one from her family knew that her biological Great grandmother (Ellen Hollingsworth) and Ellen's children (David James and Mary Elizabeth Florence) were buried in Dublin.

Only after I discovered one of the children David James Saunderson as having died in Ireland (The Royal Hospital for Incurables) in 1903 - was I able to get further info from the Royal Hospital
- which really opened up the family history.
