Hanora Condon Gallery
These are pictures provided by Mary Ann
Little, a great-grand-daughter of Mary Ann Condon Leonard
(daughter of Michael Condon). I have the greatest
amount of uncertainty regarding the identifications of some
of the people in these photos--I'll note potential problems
below.
Note: In some family records this
daughter is identified as 'Honora', however, her
grand-daughters, Maureen and Sally Moag, who I have had
contact with, call her 'Hanora'. It appears that she
went by the name 'Nora', and in fact, was identifed as such
in the records of the 1900 census (included below).
Until I can find anything definitive, I'll refer to her as
Hanora, as per her closest relatives.

Hanora Condon Walsh
family tree
|
|
Identified as 'Honora' by Yvonne Condon Hickey, but
questioned by Mary Ann Little. Unresoved at this
point. Hanora lived from 1874 to 1950.
|
|
The photo is clearly labeled 'Nora', but I'm unsure if
this is Hanora or someone else. The girl in the photo
appears to be a late pre-teen or young teenager, which would
date the photo to around 1886-1888. However, most
photos from this period are portraits from photographer's
studios, not snapshots like this. I don't have anyone
else in my family listings with the name Nora, so I'll leave
it here for the time being.

Identified as Honora by Mary Ann Little.

Another photo labeled 'Nora'. Appears to have been
taken in the Michigan woods--perhaps at a lumber camp or
resort?
|
|
Just a guess, but think this photo was taken at the same
location as the one above. Nora has the same smock and
a similar hairstyle as the woman on the tracks, and this one
is also in the pine woods. She appears fairly young,
so the child is probably her eldest, Nola Marie (born in
1901). This would make Nola about 25 in this photo.

|
First cousins Nola Marie Walsh (1901-?),
Marguerite Leonard (1902-1927), and Carolyn Yvonne Condon
Hickey. Wonder what the 'green apples' note refers
to? |
|
Nola Walsh, Marguerite
Leonard, and Carolyn Yvonne Hickey |
|
Probably first cousins Nola Walsh (b. 1901; daughter of
Hanora); Katherine (Catherine?) Walsh (b. 1910, youngest
daughter of Hanora); Margurerite Leonard (daugher of Mary
Ann Condon Leonard); and Helen Mannix (daughter of Helen
Elizabeth Condon Mannix).
|
|
Ambrose J. Walsh (b. 1904), son of Hanora and John
Walsh. The other person was identified by Mary Ann
Little as Howard Condon, son of Edward, but it looks to me
like the name on the photo is actually written as Harold,
who was William's son.
|
|
Leon Walsh (b. 1909, son of Hanora and John), Carolyn
Yvonne Condon (Dod), and Marguerite Leonard.
|
|
Katherine (Catherine?) Walsh. I believe the correct
spelling is Catherine, based on communication with one of
her daughters, Maureen Moag.
|
|
Standing: Michael
Dunne, Margarete (or Marguerite) Dunne; seated: William
Edwards, Thomas Edwards, Virginia Dunne Edwards. The writing
on the photo mis-identifies the children as children of
Virginia and William; they are actually younger siblings of
Virginia and the children of Walter Dunne and Nola Walsh.
Thanks to Kathryn and Eileen Edwards for this correction.
|
|
According to Mary Ann Little, this is a
daughter of Nola Marie Walsh; a granddaughter of Hanora
Condon Walsh. Eileen Edwards indicates that her name was
Eleanor Dunne. She was born in 1927 in Detroit, MI, and
passed in 2006 in Milwaukee, WI.

Ordinarily I would put
this census record in the Documents section, but it relates
to these photos. To note: only Katherine [sic] (should
be Catherine) and Nora are in the household at this time
(1900). Daughter's name is not listed as either Honora
or Hanora. Catherine's birth date is incorrect--it was
actually 1832, not 1827, according to her death
certificate. Nora was 25 years old at this time and
still single. She's listed as a bookkeeper in a
butcher shop.
