What was her first name? Dorothy? Elizabeth? Margaret? Which one? Middle names were not used during this time. Do we know what sources actually name her? And identify her parents? Many thanks!

O Canny-4 and O'Canny-2 appear to represent the same person because: These are the same person with only an apostrophe difference. Underscores were not in use during the time this person was alive. Merge them to reduce redundant profiles and correct the spelling of the last name.
