I have William and Catherine's marriage certificate but there is no mention of William's mother so her name on the Catholic register is a breakthrough 😁

William and Catherine's first daughter was Mary so I suspected she may have been named after William's mother.

The burial of Mary McKay in Ardwick is definitely my next line of enquiry.


Glad to have been of some help  :)

Instant digital image available from GRO if you want to take a chance - cost £3.00

MCKAY, MARY       71 
GRO Reference: 1873  D Quarter in CHORLTON  Volume 08C  Page 448

Edit to add

I've been looking to see if I can find Mary on 1871 census but no luck yet  ???
