Individual Details

Mary Louise "Mame" DELANEY

(Nov 1874 - 15 Jun 1959)

Maiden name "Delaney"? 1910 US Census shows a "sister-in-law" named Agnes A Delaney, age 30. Of course, she could have been a widow. However, I found an 1880 census record (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MZFZ-2HN) which shows an Agnes Delaney age 2 and a Mary Delaney age 7 living in the household of Michael and Maria Delaney of Troy. Both parents were born in Ireland, agreeing with the 1910 record.

"Louise" comes from 1900 census
