Biography
Mary Jane was born about 1832. She was the daughter of Robert Ferguson and probably Jane Oliver.
On 23 January 1862 at Draperstown Presbyterian, she married John Clarke Oliver(25) of Ardnariff, son of Henry Oliver, farmer. Witnessed by Henry James Oliver and Eleanor Graham. [1]
Research Notes
Mary Jane is named as daughter in the will of the attached father; who also names Henry Oliver as a brother-in-law .
There were two Robert Fergusons who both had wives called Jane it seems; but that brother-in-law suggests that Jane Oliver was Mary Jane's mother.
Possible death: 4 Jan 1892 age 62 at Limavady, wife of a spirit dealer. Ardinarive , her husband's home townland at marriage, was in the Limavady SRD.
The marriage witness could be Eleanor Graham -- her first cousin, if the tree is correct.
