She died 13th july 1893 at 16 wilson grove.

She was 28 years old. Her husband william monaghan is listed as mate, merchant service.

She is buried st michaels. She was born in leeswood flint and christened on october 6th 1856


sikeywabbit - Can I check the baptism year 1856 is correct for
your Mary Ellen Jones  - from her baptism record what were her parents names, father's occupation?

The date of death 1893 age 28 would give Mary a birth year of c1865 not 1856  ???

The 1891 census https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:7Q51-RT2
living Wilson Grove with her husband & children
Mary Ellen MONAGHON's yob c1866 Leeswood Flintshire

added - there's a Mary JONES occ servant born c 1866 Leeswood
living 12 Railway Street Openshaw, Lancashire

You need to view the original 1881c as John Griffiths is not the head of household,
it's Joseph Jones age 32 his wife Jane S and his four children
plus John Griffiths & his two sons named Price & Edward Griffiths

On the other thread there was a suggested marriage Mary Ellen Jackson widow to William Monaghan,
Mary Ellen widow may have been a Hughes by her first marriage.

I only mention this because in 1881 the David Griffiths who registered the death has a number of Hughes children living with him and his wife .

Mike

Edit, Mary Ellen may have been Hughes before her marriage

on that marriage

Mary Ellen JACKSON's father is named as James HUGHES.

Mary was a spinster age 23 (so right age) and William was a mariner



From the 1891 census Mary Ellen & William's son is named James H Monoghan born c 1890

This looks to be James Henry Monaghan's baptism St Michael Garton 2 March 1890
