Eleanor/Ellen/Nell Hogan was born in Newcastle upon Tyne on 5 Oct 1858 and bap 17 Oct at the RC church of St Mary N/Tyne. On 27 Apr 1878 she married Thomas Straughan at Blyth Congregational church and in 1881 they lived in Cowpen, Blyth, Northumberland, where Thomas worked as a miner. They had Frances (1878) William (1879) & John (1881/2) in Northumberland, before emigrating to Cleveland Ohio where they had Thomas c1885, Rosetta (1889) & Eleanor (Nellie) in 1891. The Ohio births were recorded as Straffen. Thomas, recorded as Straffere, died 6 April 1892 at the relatively young age of 34 and was buried at Cleveland.
The eldest girl Frances was married as Straffin in February 1900 and in the census of that year she and her husband Alexander Tosh were recorded in Cleveland, and living with them were some of Fanny's younger siblings.
Can anyone discover what became of Mrs Straffen, Eleanor nee Hogan, last heard of producing the youngest child young Nell c 1891? Her elder brother William Hogan had also moved to Cleveland, but I can't find Nell with them in any census returns.
Thanks for reading.
