  • O'Driscoll/Driscoll

    I am trying to help a friend who has relatives called O'Driscoll or possibly Driscoll. It would have been in the late 1800's - early 1900's that 5 sisters moved from Newfoundland to Pasadena, California. They all remained spinsters and used to run an old people's home in Pasadena. One of them was called Mariah O'Driscoll and I wondered if anyone could help me re this query. Thanks. Angela

    Hi Angela,

    Do you have the other sisters names and rough birthdates ?

    Have you found them in the Canadian censuses ?

    Haven't found Mariah in California yet. Sometime it is easier to find them as a group.

      I will ask my friend if she has the other sisters' names - I'm not in Ancestry.ca - just the UK and U.S. I did search for that name in the U.S. one but didn't find any. I just threw my comment on to see if anyone had info with the small of amount I had - so thanks for your reply, Will get back to you. Angela

        US Records of Aliens Pre Examined in Canada

        Found the same person on 1910 Brooklyn, New York as a visitor , with hosts from Newfoundland.

        Also on 1920 and 1940. 1940 she is single, living in Cmabridge , Mass.

              1920 Ellen A Driscoll, 35, head, Nurse at Hospital - and think it says own Hospital but unsure, born Newfoundland, living Richmond, Contra Costa, California, with Nellie C Wood, nurse, Ellen A Driscoll 40, cook at Hospital, born Newfoundland.

              Agnes emigrated 1902, Ellen 1889.
