Biography

Mary Anne Anderson was born about 1799^[1], the third daughter of John Anderson and Jane Den Roche. ^[2] Mary Anne married Charles Henry Abbot on 26 June 1835 in the Diocese of Ossory.^[3]Two newspaper announcements confirm this marriage.
The first appeared in the Kentish Gazette, Tuesday 21 July 1835; it read,
Chas Henry, son of William Abbot, esq. of the Limes, Canterbury, to Marianne, third daughter of John Anderson, esq. of Prospect, County Kilkenny.^[4]

The second from the South Eastern Gazette provided more information, particularly in terms of the venue of the ceremony;
The 25th ult., at Burnchurch, Charles Henry, son of William . Esq., of the Limes, Canterbury, to Marianne, third daughter Anderson, Esq., Prospect, county Kilkenny.^[5]

Burnchurch Church, Kilkenny - as it looks today. It was used up until the 1940s.

Mary Anne and Charles had at least two children. According to an announcement in The Kentish Gazette, 04 September 1838, Mary Anne had a daughter on 13 August 1838 at "Ardalou (sic?) Cottage, Kilkenny".^[6]This was a reference to their daughter, Letitia Abbot. Then in the Limerick Newspaper, an announcement of the birth of a son on 7 April 1841. An assumption has been made that this was a reference to Mary Anne's son Radcliffe Abbot.^[7] Please note that this may be subject to change if further information arises.

Mary Ann's Gravestone

Mary Anne passed away on 27 July 1877, at 77 years of age.^[8] She was buried at Christ Church, Tramore, County Waterford, on the South Coast of Ireland. A gravestone was erected by her son-in-law Martin Keane. The inscription is spaced on the headstone as follows, Sacred | to the memory | of | MARY ANN ABBOT | Wife of | CHARLES H. ABBOT | Who died July 27 | 1877 | Erected by her | Son-in-law | MARTIN KEANE | A wife Kind, A Mother | dear, A faithful Friend | lies buried here | My cup is past my glass | is run O children dear | prepare to come.^[9]
The sweet rhyme, deserved to be written out as it would be spoken.

A Wife Kind, A Mother Dear,

A faithful Friend, lies buried here.

My cup is past, My glass is run

O children dear, prepare to come.
