The FindMyPast index reads "Mary Sellars, born 1817, year 1847.
But looking at the original register the column headed "When received and committed by whom" reads 1874. The pages before and after are headed 1874 also.

Thank you for the look-up.

The Mary I am looking for was born c 1812 - 1817. This new info puts into doubt she is my Mary.

Mary in prison in 1881 aged 36 is too young.

I have found Mary in the census born Marple. Not my Mary though.

Thank you.
