Hi Glenys
A Margaret FLYNN arrived as an unassisted immigrant on the ship SPARTAN in April 1849 so must have been able to pay her own passage. Ellen was an 'Irish orphan' and therefore an assisted immigrant. Margaret with money and Ellen a poor orphan hardly sound like sisters??????
If this death is Margaret then the informant did not know her parents names.
