So Im guessing Mary Black aged 2 is Marys first child , she would have been 14ish if she was 16 in the 1881 census Working for the McCourty family as a dairymaid :/ David must have been aware of his older siblings as he stated his only brother george as next of kin along with his mother mary. Address unknown. It really is confusing

Yes, I should think so.
I'm guessing that Mary was Margaret Thom's child by a previous marriage or relationship; just looking for them in 1871. |
