Event Note

Hannie's mother's name is specified as Johannie Keane in her death record and not Bridget Hannon as we would expect given that she was the daughter of Thomas Conway and Bridget Hannan. The other details in the record match what we believe to be true about Hannie. Specifically the address exactly matches that on Jeremiah's death record and the Ambroses' entry in the 1930 census.

There is a record of Hannie (recorded as "Hanora"), her sister Nora and her son Keane travelling from Ireland to New York in 1897. Keane gave "Carnane, Co. Limerick" as the residence from which he was travelling. There is also a record of Nora Conway travelling from Carnane to 11 Floyd St in 1898, which the record states is her sister's address. 11 Floyd St is where Jeremiah and Hannie were living in the 1900 Census.

This evidence strongly supports that Hannie (or Johannie) Conway from Carnane in my family tree (daughter of Thomas Conway and Bridget Hannan) was Jeremiah Ambrose's wife. If that is the case then Johannie Conway's mother's name was not Johannie Keane as stated in the death record.

        Mrs. J. C. Ambrose, Of Famed Family

        Mrs. Johannie Conway Ambrose, widow of Jeremiah Ambrose, with whom she came to Brooklyn in 1880 on their honeymoon, died yesterday at her home, 343 E. 26th St. She was a member of the family after which Ambrose Lightship, marking the channel into New York Harbor, is named.
        Mrs. Ambrose was born in Limerick, Ireland. During almost 60 years of residence in Brooklyn she had seen many changes in the borough. She was a charter member of St. Patrick;s Council 19 of the Catholic Women's Benevolent Legion, and a member of the League of the Sacred Heart amd the Rosary Society of Holy Cross R. C. Church.
        For the past 45 years Mrs. Ambrose had made her home in Flatbush. Her husband, who died about five years ago, was a city employee. Surviving are a son, Keane Ambrose; two daughters, Miss Frances Ambrose and Mrs. Christine McCullough; a sister Mrs. Norah Gillen; four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
        A solemn requiem mass Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. in St. Jerome's R. C. Church will be followed by burial in Calvary Cemetery
