• Notes

  In the 1921 Census of Jerseyside, Placentia and St. Marys district she lists her birth date as Apr of 1852 and says she's 69 years old. In the 1930 US Census she says she's 67. In the 1921 census she specifically lists her birth year along with her age and in Jan 1930 she would have been 77 so she was probably off (or the enumerator misunderstood) by 10 years. Her last name is misspelled In the 1930 census as "Wallsh" and she lists her age at first marriage as 26. Mary has always said she died "Around Christmas" She Died in Staten Island, Richmond County, New York Death Certificate # A87465 Death Registration # 1950
