Eleanor Patt(e)y and John Thomas Carran (both from the Isle of Man) married in Liverpool in 1845.

Eleanor gave birth to triplets in December 1846, as testified by this newspaper cutting:

Liverpool Standard and General Commercial Advertiser - 29 December 1846
"On the 14th inst., the wife of JOHN THOMAS CARRAN, of the police force, of a son and two daughters, who are since dead, but the mother is doing well."

The GRO has the birth registrations but not the deaths.
I can't find burials for them.

They were baptised at St John's, Liverpool

The entry indicates that they were born and baptised on the same day, the 21st.

I would have expected to find some record of their death. Other newspaper entries only mention their births, not their deaths.

The family must have travelled to Illinois in the following years. Eleanor (Ellen) had a brother David Patty who emigrated their with his wife Margaret Kermode. His will is on Ancestry and mentions his sister - as Ellen.


David Patty was joint executor of John Thomas Carran's will in Illinois in 1866.
