Ireland / Mary Jane Bissett - Dublin - abt 1867
« on: Tuesday 08 July 14 06:11 BST (UK) »
Looking for parent or sibling information for Mary Jane Bissett.
Born abt 1867 in Dublin, Ireland.
Her father's name was John Bissett. No further family information.
She may have been born earlier or later than 1867 - but this is the most accurate date I have.
She first married a Henry Leonard Graham, who was in the military, and born in England. There is a marriage certificate for them in 1885 in Dublin, and in 1886 in Brighton, England.
Henry and Mary later lived in India and had 4 sons. Her first husband died in 1893.
Mary then married for a second time - to a Henry Stewart. Marriage took place in India in 1894 (She used a different middle name, stating her name as being "Mary Pauline Bissett"). Witnesses to the marriage were John and Margaret McDonagh.
Henry Stewart's father was Walter Stewart. Don't know their nationality. Assume this Henry was also in the military.
The family returned to England around 1900.
She had 3 children with Henry Stewart - 2 of which were born in India - but had their births registered in Ireland.
I'd appreciate any help on how to trace where Mary lived between her birth and her first marriage, and her parents/siblings names.....
Finding it difficult to get any info at all. Not sure where else to look...
Also, if her children with her second husband were born in India, but the births were registered in Ireland, does this mean that her second husband was also from Ireland?
Thank you!
