Tierney's new York,Hi, My gg grandmotherwas Helen Rose Tierney Married to a Thomas John Stowell in Chicago Illinois is the late1870's or so .We have no info about her other than she might have been from New York and that her family was wealthy . My gggrandfather met her when Helen's family was visiting Chicago and the carriage she was riding in was out of control and my gggrandfather rescued them. I was told her family was upset andmay have disowned her because of marrying my gggrandfather because he was a policeman.they had one son Named Raymond j. (possibly John) Stowell while still in Chicago... if any of this seems to fit let me know.. I hope it does so far I can find no info on her at all. I believe she is buried in Chicago, and in 1923 when my gggrandfather went to visit in England it says he was a widower, because she did not come to calif. in the 1930's with the rest of the family
