Do any of the Census records say where Mary was born??

This may narrow down where she married.

Cheers

Place of birth of Mary and her daughter Ellen is only given as "Ireland" in the 1861 and 1871 censii, as is Ellen's husband, Dennis Murrey.

It's therefore 99.9% certain that both her birth and marriage were in Ireland.

Hi, just spotted this chain which is something of a coincidence as I was in Usk yesterday trying to track down my maternal family links there.
The family name is Blakemore and, in the 1871 census, THEY were living at 4 Ash Street (James and Elizabeth with daughters Ellen, Elizabeth, Agnes and Louisa). In the 1861 census they were simply shown as at lower Ash Street and so I can't say if this was the same location or if they were living nearby.
I believe either then or later they had some connection to the Three Salmons.
There is a suggestion that the staff of the Three Salmons were housed in a 'large house perhaps in Ash Street'.
I see that 4 Ash Street has been redeveloped and there are a lot of properties on the land, so I assume that it was quite a large house.
Sorry that this get's you no closer, but it might provide some context and alternative options for research.
Good Luck

Thanks for that -= I can't do anything with the info at the moment as we're in the process of moving house (tomorrow!), but I'll try and have a deeper look soon.

Hi, I hope that by the time you get this you have had a successful move.

Just thought I would let you know that 4 Ash Street seems to have held some form of extended community (trying to find out more about this) I found a page that shows deaths in Usk and there seems to have been a death almost every year in the 1880's, all different surnames.

Good hunting!

Sorry should have said deaths at 4 Ash Street every year.
