Mary Boyd

• Birth Notes

  DoB from Londonerry Sentinel which gives her as aged 18 years and 9 months at death in August 1864.  On her gravestone, she is described as aged 13 at death in 1864.  One of these sources is incorrect.  I suspect it is the gravestone (or the transcription thereof) as the newspaper one is unusually precise giving months as well as years.

  From the Londonderry Sentinel:
