Individual Details

Tillie was a nurse. She worked in Panama where she travelled by mule and delivered babies. She also nursed in Guatemala and later worked in New York. There is a record of Tillie arriving in New Orleans from Cristóbal, Panama in December 1917. The ship manifest tells us that Tilly's last residence was Guatemala City, Guatemala.

Another travel record located for Tillie relates to her arrival by ship in New York from Ireland on 20 October 1929. She would have been 55 years of age at this time. Surprisingly, on the ship manifest her occupation is "Domestic" rather than nurse.

Tillie, who never married, returned to live in Ireland after her retirement.

Apparently Tillie and her sister Jennie, who had been close, had a falling out and their relationship was poor thereafter. According to a family source both were "strong-willed" women.
