Biography
Ellen was born in County Carlow, around 1800, the daughter of Patrick McDarby, a farmer. Her mother was named Mary, but her last name is not known.
She married Andrew McDonald 4 November 1815 at Saint Joseph's in Tinryland, County Carlow. The witnesses were Michael Timmin and Elizabeth Tynan. According to her death certificate, she married at the age of eighteen, and she could well have married in 1818 – there appear to be issues with the years in the parish register.[2]
Tinryland is located about six kilometres south-east of Carlow town.
They had three children together, Margaret (1816 (or 1819), John (1817 (or 1820) and Mary (1820 (or 1823).
Ellen's children Margaret and John both migrated to Victoria, and she arrived there herself in early 1862.
She passed away on 8 August 1864 on Little Lonsdale Street in East Melbourne. The cause of death was chronic bronchitis. She was buried in the Melbourne General Cemetery with her children John and Margaret.
