Mary Jennings [1829-1838], Monaghan Street, Newry, County Down

Mary was the daughter of Charles Jennings [1780-1855], Monaghan Street, Newry, County Down, and his wife Sophia Corley, daughter of Patrick Corley, Clones, County Monaghan. She was baptised in Newry on the 8th of December 1829, which perhaps  accounted for her name – the 8th of December is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception – though her maternal grandmother was also called Mary Ann, but Anna Maria, born in 1814, had already been named after her.
