Notes Tommy was a very much loved and only on of John Henry and Ellen Dolan. Sadly Tommys father passed away when Tommy was very young. His mother, Ellen, re-married. John Sumners, by all accounts, was not a good man and did not like the children much. Being of the Catholic faith the three siblings, Beatrice, Thomas and Ellen (Nellie), attended the school according to their faith. John wasn't agreeable to this and removed them and placed them into St Albans school. Ellen, my great grandmother, became increasingly worried for her children and chose to ask Fr Hudson for help. Fr Hudson had Ellen sign papers agreeing to Fr Hudson to do what he could to help Tommy. The girls were needed at home to help their mother. It is not certain whether there was a child born to Ellen and her second husband although my belief is that there was a baby girl named Agnes who was just six months old when she died. May she Rest in Eternal Peace.
