My paternal grandmother was Elizabeth (Lizzie) Brennan.
In 1870 Census, I found her parents Dennis Brennan, a miner,b in Ireland
in 1826 & Mary Langton b in new york in 1837. They had 3 children at
that time, Ellen age 11, Lizzie(Elizabeth) age 9 & John age 2. They
lived in Eastward, Pa.
In 1880 Census, they were living @ 127 Mahanoy St. , Mahanoy City.Ellen
& Lizzie were not listed but John was still at home along with Patrick
age 6, Mary age 4 & Dennis age 9 months.
The mother, Mary Langton may be a sister of Mortimer Langton who was the
father of Theresa Langton who married Thomas Dorsey & had the famous
Dorsey Brothers.
My grandmother, Elizabeth Brennan married William Gilmore in Phila.,
Pa.& lived there until her death in 1941.I am seeking the tie-in between
Mary Langton & Mortimer Langton & if they are brother & sister the names
of their parents as well as the parents of Dennis Brennan.
