Biography
Mary was probably born in May of 1891, based on death record found, although census data has 1892. [1] She was the daughter of Mark Killoran and Elizabeth McDermott.
In most of the Cdn. censuses Mary's name is clearly Mary. In the 1940 census in Detroit, it is spelled May J. Killoran, age 48, sister of Ethel Killoran, both born in English Canada. It appears, based on the association with Ethel, that these are both Thomas and Elizabeth's daughters, working in Detroit as "Office Executive" and unmarried. [2]
A U.S. Social Security Death Index entry exists for May Killoran in Michigan in June of 1978. The day and month of birth agree, only the year is a year earlier than the Cdn. census but entirely feasible. [3]
Like many of their female Killoran ancestors, Mary and Ethel both lived into their 80's. Mary's place of burial is not known.
