In June of 1900, Mary (Cassidy) McDonnell, wife of James McDonnell, was enumerated in Newburgh Township, Cuyahoga County, Ohio in the United States. She was reported to be age 41, born in Ireland circa July 1858. Mary came to the U.S. in 1880 - 20 years previously - and had been married 17 years. Therefore, James and Mary were married in the USA. In 1900, Mary had all 5 of her 5 children still living. [1]
If her birth date was really 20 May 1858, then she may have been baptized in July of 1858.
Mary A. McDonnell is buried with her husband in Calvary Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio. The FAG memorial gave her date of death as 19 May 1939 with no source. Could that have been her burial date? [2]
Research on Offspring
The James McDoneld born 26 Feb 1884 in Cleveland, Ohio, son of James and Mary, may be the son of Mary Cassidy, but another source of his birth date is needed to confirm this.

Is the correct McDonnell family the one in Newburgh township, Cuyahoga County, Ohio in 1900? James McDonnell, wife Mary, children: James, Roger, Daniel, John, Mary. The census birth date for Mary was July of 1857 or 1858 -- blotchy and very hard to read.
Is this the grave memorial for this Mary Cassidy McDonnell from Ohio? The gravestone says she was born in 1859, not 1865.
