This possibly looks like her family in 1871: |

rootgatherer, yes this is her and strange she would revert back to previous married name, The John Mahoney would be my g/father and Kate my g/aunt. Since joining Genes I have found relations of the Heavey family, also Kate's family. Just want to know what happened to my gt gmother Mary Ann whether she be Mahoney or Heavey. |

Linda, you need to understand that names on census records back then are subject to many variations mainly due to general lack of literacy (even by the enumerators sometimes!). - Look at the Spinder/Spender variation on page 1. |

Just as a point of interest, this appears in 1881 to be the MILLIGAN family that I found in 1871: |
