Delaney Family/ Newburgh, NY

My maternal grandmother was Mary Ellen Delaney (Mamie, to her family, Nana, to me).She married my grandfather, Nicholas Michael Burns (I don't know when), and had four children.However, I think she was born in 1890.Her first child was born in 1904, when she was just 14 years old!My granddad was about 10 to 12 years older than she was.My mother, Helen Elizabeth Burns, was their youngest child; born 11/3/13, and died 11/22/48, along with her husband, Merlin Anson Maze, Jr. (my dad).I'm trying to find out as much information about them as I can, because I'm the only one left!After spending time in an orphanage, you can bet I'll be trying to validate my family tree!!!
Somewhere I read that my grandmother may have been born in New York State, Ireland, or Canada.I really don't know where, but this doesn't jibe with the dates you have.I do know that both her parents were born in Ireland.
Whatever the outcome is, I am truly blessed to be able to be in contact with people who have an interest in their family roots and connections.
Thank you, in advance for any information you might be able to share.
God bless...
