Mary Jane Malcolm

[ashtayl04]

Looking for the parent’s of Mary Jane Malcolm, born in 1833 in Ireland,

She married Thomas Stanfield on the 23rd January 1849 in Leinster and came to the uk in 1869,

[Elwyn Soutter]

Couple married in Co Down (which is in Ulster, not Leinster). Thomas had been married before and was in the army (so perhaps not native to Co Down?).

Mary Jane’s father William was a policeman. RIC policy generally was not to post Constables to counties where they were born or had family connections, so he too may not be a native of Co Down.

That said, the RIC recruitment records on Ancestry record a William Malcolm from Co Down who was recruited in 1828, aged 23. Place of birth was Co. Down.

I wonder where Mary Jane Malcolm was baptised? This would help with finding her mother, so forth a marriage for the parents too

This looks like this might where marriage in "Leinster" came from-

According to (submitted) family tree attached to the marriage records Thomas was born 1812 in Staffordshire and died in 1874 in Wales-

Oldest child listed (Thomas) born 1852 in Athlone Co. Westmeath but next children christened in 1855 in England.

Death of Sarah, widow of the late constable William Malcolm https://www.findmypast.co.uk/image-share/5c82ec63-f849-457a-a3ce-f9c9c243648a

[Elwyn Soutter]

Mary Jane was living in Bryansford and married in Kilcoo Church of Ireland. So possibly was baptised there too c 1831. Kilcoo’s baptism records start in 1786. There’s a copy in PRONI in Belfast (personal visit required to view them) and there’s some years on rootsireland (I don’t know which years).

A possible brother for Mary Jane here:

A possible sister here:

The geographic area is right but I note the father William was a police sergeant, whereas your William appears to have remained a Constable. But who knows?

1851 Census

William Malcolm
Sarah M.1826
Isabella
Mary Jane
Bessy

(Mary Jane’s Named her Daughter’s Sarah & Bessy so we’ve got solid conformation here thankfully

Sarah (Mary Jane’s Mother) died in 1869 as we’ve seen on the clipping in Saul Street, Downpatrick

So ideally finding a death record for William Malcolm and Seeing if their’s exisiting records that can go back even further on what we’ve already found.
