Mary Anne worked as seamstress in Galway stitching scarlet silk linings to capes that women would wear on the passage to America [Rose, 6-30-13]. Mary Anne's connection to Galway is confirmed by James' RIC record.

Mary Anne was a "marvellous needlewoman" Lil has some of her work [Lil, 7-14-13]

Mary was in Castleconnell playing harmonium in C of I, teaching white on white embroidery, and teaching music to the children of the Massy household.

Mary Anne is ID'd as the relative who was "married, a widow, and a mother by the age of twenty-one" [Rose & Ger, 6-30-13]. Lil says Mary Anne was younger - first married in 1859 - Lil says wife, widow and mother by age 18 ( as does Ave in document). First husband died of smallpox [Lil]. Child with THomas was female - perhaps named Eleanor. Thomas Jones a sergeant in the RIC - was a friend of her father's and was well off with property in England but Mary Anne never got a penny as being under 25, she couldn't inherit [Lil]. Her father James Winder said he'd give her some money if she called a male child after him - but she didn't.
