Hi Bev,
I have recently been researching the Doran family. Ellen Ann Doren is my Great Grand Mother.
This is what I have: Ellen Ann Doran 1883-1968 born Charlton Victoria, married William Henry Sharpe in 1909. Ellen took Adelaide Ann Doran's name, later in life, to get the pension. I don't think that Ellen's birth was registered. Adelaide was born in 1877, I'm not sure when she passed away. Ellen's parents were Patrick Doran, 1842-1925, born County Monaghan, Ireland and Mary Agnes Hawkins, 1850-1939, born Hobart Tasmania. Patrick & Mary were married in Tasmania in 1872. This was Patrick's second marriage. The first was Mary Jane Pickett who died soon after child birth in 1869.
I hope this helps. I cannot claim that everthing that I've written is 100% accurate, but I think it's pretty close.
I'm trying to find out more about Patrick Doran, but not having much luck. If you have info on Patrick, I'd be very greatful.
Regards,
Gavin Rayner
