Ellen English

Ellen English was born circa 1855 at Co. Cork in Ireland. Before 24 Apr 1876, Ellen English married Michael Harding. This is a supposition based on the premise that she was probably the Ellen Harding that witnessed the marriage of Catherine English and Bernard Conway in 1876. On Mon. 24 Apr 1876, Ellen Harding witnessed the marriage of Bernard Conway, son of (--?--) Conway, and Catherine J. English, daughter of Edmund English and Mary Hanrahan, at Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church, Front & Allen, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, PA. Michael Harding and his wife, Ellen Harding, and their children, Edward and Mary E., appeared on the census of 10 Jun 1880 at 712 Richmond St., Ward 18, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, PA. Bernard Carlin, Frank Long, John Finnegan, Con Hagerty, Dennis Haron and Stephen Henhoeffer appeared as boarding in the household. Margaret English was listed as a member of the household. She served as Godmother at the baptism of Mary C. English, daughter of Timothy Anthony English and Elizabeth G. Wallace, on 29 Jan 1899 at St. Mary, Wilmington, New Castle County, DE.
