Mary Gerrard was christened on 6 Jan 1826 at St Elphin's Church in Warrington. She was the daughter of Charles and Sarah Gerrard. Her father's occupation was recorded as labourer, and the family's address as Winwick Street.
On the night of June 6th 1841, Mary and her brother Thomas were in the household of their paternal grandfather Charles Gerrard.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary by comparing test results with other carriers of her ancestors' mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Mary:
Could you please take a look at the sources I've added to the profiles of Mary's father and grandfather? I believe she and her brother Thomas have been mistakenly attached as children of their grandfather because in the 1841 census they're in his household, but their baptisms show their mother was Sarah not Mary so they were children of the younger Charles Gerrard.
If you're not satisfied with anything I've written, feel free to correct or remove it but if you could leave a research note on the profile explaining why any wrong conclusions I made were wrong, that would be great. If you agree with me that Mary and Thomas are attached as children of the wrong Charles Gerrard then they'll need reattaching still - I didn't want to move them myself since they have an active profile manager in yourself. So I'll leave that for you to decide.
Best wishes

p.s. I added a few Gerrard profiles in the last few days, in case you want to add them to your study.
