New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Levy/Connell

Hi Beg
Thanks for your input and "thinking outside the square".
There was no Annie Connell found in the parish records of St Mary's Wanganui, nor was the name Annie mentioned in Mary Jane Connell's will in 1900.
Like you, I'm beginning to wonder if the Levy/Connell marriage ever took place. Mary may have been unmarried but called herself Mrs Levy when she had son Henry. However, Mary Levy and son Henry Levy were named in Mary Jane's 1900 will. I haven't searched the church records for a Levy/Connell marriage as yet.
Interestingly Mary signed her name MARY CONNELL in a sworn affidavit 27/8/1900 regarding her mother's will,
Very strange. Diggels
