  • Mary was not recorded in the 1861 or 1871 census. It is therefore safe to assume that she died sometime between 1851 and 1861. There were four death registrations in Bethnal Green during this time – September 1851, March 1854, June 1860 and March 1861. However, as the ages are not given it is impossible to determine which is applicable.
