Seeking any information on Mary Carolan who was born at Grangeeth (Ireland) in 1852.
The family headstone in Grangeeth states that she died in America in 1883 aged 31 years.
She possibly died in New York, but no record has been found in the New York City
archives.
There is a reference to a Mary Carolan aged 25 who arrived in the port of Halifax (Nova
Scotia) in 1880 aboard the "Circassian", but no proof that that is the same
Mary.
We have searched the 1880 US census, but without any obvious hits.
Any information would be much appreciated.
