Sorry for the long silence. I live with and take care of my 90 year old mother (Agnes T.
Carroll). My time is not always my own. I just re-read your reply and saw that the
Phelan's had twins. Twins do run in our family, my brother's last child turned
out to be 2 boys, James and Robert Carroll. I've yet to put my hands on my Phelan
files. When I moved mom to live with us, we just moved ourselves to a home with a first
floor bedroom and bath for mom. Now all of her stuff is on top of all of our stuff and I
am sorting everyday to find all of my family history records. I do remember that around
1900 in the U.S.A. my great Aunt Rosana Carroll Phelan's two small children, Richard
and Catharine Phelan died. There was a diptheria outbreak and lots of people were
affected by it. I can't find Rosana's death record. Her husband, Richard,
passed, too, around the same time as the kids, perhaps he was inflicted with the same
disease? She remarried at least 2 times afterwards an!
d perhaps even a third time and that is why I can't locate a death record as I do not
know what her final surname might have been. I have some hunches and am looking. I will
stay in touch if I come across anything that is vital. Thanks for replying, Pat Carroll
Bennett
