Individual Details
Mary FRENCH
(Abt 1805 - 4 Jan 1900)
According to family sources, Mary was born in 1805, but this seems unlikely given that that she was still having children in the late 1850s when she would have been in her fifties. Furthermore, according to her death record she died at the age of 90, giving an approximate birth year of 1909, meaning she would have had her youngest child at the age of abot 50, which seems unlikely. It is probable therefore that Mary was born perhaps around 1815, but this does not tie in with family information that Mary was older than her husband.
Family notes state that Patrick and Mary were married in 1844, which appears to be incorrect given they had had several children prior to this date. The Co. Roscommon Heritage and Genealogy Company have records showing that a Patrick Gordon and a Mary French were married in Fairymount on 4 February 1833, which is more likely.
Witnesses to the marriage of Mary and Patrick were Martin Gordon (Patrick's brother?) and Michael Dowd.
