Ellen "Nellie" O'Dwyer was a Third Class passenger of the Titanic. She survived the sinking. She was one of eleven children born into a Roman Catholic family and her parents were Michael O'Dwyer (b. circa 1860) 1, a China packer, and Johanna Sullivan (b. 1863), Limerick natives who were married in early 1881. One of six surviving children from a near dozen, Nellie's known siblings were: John (b. 1886), Michael (b. 1887), James (b. 1890), Christopher (b. 1897) and Johanna (b. 1900). Her husband Dennis died on 10 July 1937 and was buried in St Raymond's Cemetery, Bronx, New York in a family plot.
