Eleanor Mahoney (b. ~1799) née ?
(Redirected from Eleanor Mahoney (b. ~1799))
Irish-born Catholics Sylvester and Eleanor Mahoney brought up their family in Stratford, Essex.
By the early 1850s, the family had fallen on hard times and Sylvester was listed as a pauper in the 1851 Census. It seems highly likely the entire family was illiterate.
In 1851, their daughter Ann, who was working as a street hawker, married local fishmonger Joseph Hitchcock.
Eleanor died in 1873 aged 75.
