Elizabeth "Bess" Allen
Elizabeth "Bess" Allen married Andrew Young on 16 October 1836 at the Dangan Church. Their witnesses were Anne Allen McKeon and Michael Ruley.
In 1855, they were leasing land from Philip McKeon, right next to the church at Dangan. (See map from Philip McKeon and Anne Allen's blog post)
Their children were:
Bridget baptized September 1837 - sponsors Michael Ruley and Francis Tracey
Elizabeth baptized February 1839- sponsors James Allen and Mary ?
John baptized June 1841- sponsors Peter Allen and Mary Young
Mary baptized November 1843- sponsors Thomas Reynolds and Jane Byrne
Jane baptized February 1846- sponsors Thomas? and Catherine Byrne
Anne baptized August 1848- sponsors John Young and Mary Allen
So with Elizabeth Allen we see connections with:
James Allen
Peter Allen
Mary Allen
Anne Allen
update 2023: In Catherine Allen Byrne's letter to her daughter Maggie in Nebraska, she mentions that "Bess Allen is dead and berried." The letter is date August 22, 1899.
