Ellen Connor, birth record

Ellen Connor's birth date was believed to be August 15, 1848 as recorded in her son's Philip M. Sullivan's family bible. However, when the family bible of Ellen's parents, James Connor and Anastasia Colfour/Colfer was located, the birth date of August 24, 1843 was given.

The 1843 date is the more likely date as it was recorded in the late 1870s (closer to the actual birthday) and was "accepted" as the birth date by her Mother, Anastasia Colfour Connor. Also, the 1843 birth date would make her just 3 years younger than her husband, rather than 8 years younger, giving her a marriage age of 22 rather than 17.
