Mary McDermott ~1829-1901

Tailoress

~1829. Mary McDermott born Mayo ( from 1901C) to John McDermott, labourer, and mother unknown, maybe Esther X

2 baptism possibilities on RI . I favour the 1st if I have the correct Mary- with an elder sister - in the 1851C

1. 11/7/1829 to John & Bridget McDonell in Crossboyne & Tagheen parish. Parents married in the same parish 21/1/1825

2. 1/12/1827 to John & Honour McHale in Kilmoremoy/Ballina parish. Parents married in the same parish 20/2/1827. Witnesses Anthony & Cath McDermott

1841C. Maybe, but unlikely as no Ellen here, living Silsbridge Lane, Green Air Place, Bradford, father John a labourer, elder sister Margaret a Spinner . This family must have come from Ireland 1839-1841

1901. Mary Conway, 74, died Bolton Dec 1901. Odd that even here there is corruption of her name!, though I suspect the switch was deliberate as Conway was less likely to mark her out as Irish! . And she had lived through the riots in Stockport. No probate
