Person in this family
Mary Ellen Hickey
This entry is about Mary Ellen Hickey (29 June 1888 – 26 December 1947). For other family members with the same first and family name, see Mary Ann Hickey (27 October 1862 – 20 January 1934), Mary Beatrice Hickey (about 1892 – 1963), Mary Margaret Hickey (about 1908 – 2001).
29 June 1888 – 26 December 1947
Mary Ellen Hickey was born on 29 June 1888, the eldest child of William Hickey and Ellen O'Shea. She is named on her mother's headstone as MARY ELLEN DOLAN, so she married a man of that name, and she died on 26 December 1947 — three months after her father, and was named on the headstone that stands over both her parents' graves. Her married name was not known to this archive until the stone was read.

Historical context
These background articles explain the places, work, and events in this entry.
What we still don't know
- Whether the reported dates and parents are correct
- Whether she married and used another surname
- Her occupation, residence, and burial
- Search Queensland marriages to discover a possible married surname; then repeat cemetery, newspaper, and death-index searches.
- Her husband's given name. The headstone gives only DOLAN. A Queensland marriage registration for a Mary Ellen Hickey, probably between 1908 and 1925, would name him.
- She married a man named Dolan; his given name is not recorded. A Queensland marriage registration would name him.
