There is only one Mary Andrews on the 1841 census for Bolton but it says "born in this county", it's a possibility (transcription attached) There are 15 others in the whole of Lancashire using a 5 year search window but it's all only speculation, though most look like they are in a family of some sort. There is another one single living in Manchester says N to born in this county. (attached) One newspaper clipping from 1842 in Manchester, not a million miles away from Bolton (3 to 4 hour walk these days), stealing money from the person. 6 months in Lancaster Castle. I can't know for sure if this is the same Mary but it does tie in with her previous recorded record on the VDL register. (attached) Another 4 more newspaper clippings (attached) There are 2 entries for prison registers in Dublin, right age but no way of knowing if Mary moved from Co. Cavan then onto Bolton later. (attached) All the family in Ireland so cannot go any further as I've tried the only free Irish resources I know of and what's on FMP. (I see on her convict record it says quite starkly DEAD. I've tried to find her death on the Tasmanian site but can't find anything relating to Mary specifically. I'd like to know what happened to Mary and if she left any descendants behind.)
