Research Notes

No marriage registration found for Philip and Mary.

Philip's naturalization says "2 Feb" or "7 Feb" for her birthdate. The year is wrong, but that was very common for Irish emigrants.

The birth was registered on 22 March and there was a financial penalty for late registrations , so people often lied about the actual birth date to avoid this penalty. It is reasonably likely that she was actually born 2 or 7 Feb or thereabouts, and late registered.
