Thank you for offering to help.
The names & dates for my grand aunts were:
Mary Cullen, d.o.b. 1st April 1863
Julia Cullen, d.o.b. 18th June 1865
Bridget Cullen, 3rd January 1868
Their parents were, Patrick Cullen & Catherine Lennox.
They were born near Fontstown, Co.Kildare, Ireland.
They were not on the 1901 census so had left Ireland before that.
Family lore says that one of them was married to a Frank Ganley & another to either a Broghan or a Groghan.
I have tried to find them on the Ellis Island or Castle gardens records but no luck.
Ancestry has thousands of records for Cullen's with those first names, its like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Thanks again.
