• Family history
• Birth estimated from age 77 at death per Gravestone Inscription and newspaper notice. Note a BDM entry in 1859 belongs to a different person with parents of the same names. Most records from that period did not survive, but I have found at least 5 marriage records of a man named Michael Ryan to a woman named Bridget within a decade of Mary's birth.
