Now I know all about Mary thanks to Robin my A-team member.
There were so many pictures Robin scanned to look at that some were left to be identified later… much later.
This one is directly related to my distant relatives.
cousin Mary Malloy
Sylvia Elizabeth Bleau, Agnes Alexandre’s daughter, wrote the caption when we compare both handwriting.
At first I thought I was no expert at people’s handwriting, but now I am sure this is Mary Malloy with Sylvia Elizabeth Bleau’s handwriting.
Mary Malloy or Molloy is the daughter of Philomène Alexandre and Thomas Molloy. Philomène would be at 2 o’clock.
Now what about Mary Malloy?
Who did she marry?
Did she have any descendants?
Will any descendant write me a message like Patricia did last month?
And what about this man’s picture?
Could he be Mary’s brother?
Great photos, in such good condition.
I never thought back in September 2009 that I would get such a response from people who were willing to share these. Robin scanned more than 100 old pictures. It’s her husband who is a very distant relative of mine.
I guess sharing old pictures is also addictive.
It truly is, but not to my other half. Maybe because so many are still alive, but no interest in looking back.
Commenting is also addictive,,,
Oh…is it?
Hello, I am 99.9% sure that this is my Great Grandmother Molly (Mary) Malloy. This is a link to a photo of my mother. They look very much alike, I think. https://goo.gl/photos/kJAExgRfjLX8ZACy5
If I’m right, then this would be the Mary Malloy that was born in NY, married James English McDevitt and was the mother of my Grandmother Maryalice McDevitt. I believe that Mary’s parents were William and Mary. My Great Grandmother was an amazing watercolorist who went by the name Moya https://www.ArtPal.com/tracyhayden?i=2214-16
Thank you for sharing these photos!
The ressemblance I agree is stunning.
The problem is that this Mary Malloy married Enrico Turconi. Her parents were Thomas James Malloy and Philomene Alexander.
I will work on this case later today.
Thanks for checking it out. I suppose it must not be the same Mary. Maybe all Malloys just look alike. 😊
I have checked it. My Mary Malloy is definitely not yours. On the other hand your comment helped me with finding more of my Mary Malloy’s relatives.
Thanks.
Preserving the past sometimes is confusing when we look for ancestors.
