Research Notes
While it's clear Mary belongs to this family unit, her christening and birth registration hasn't been located, despite the location of both for her other 11 siblings. (checked GRO, Familysearch, Ancestry)
Her death record or 1939 Register record hasn't been located. There was a Mary Holloway, retired School Mistress, who seemed to be a good match, however, on discovering her death record & probate it was discovered she was Mary Louise Holloway, daughter of William Holloway.
