  • Mary Jane Wilson

    Where to start? Where to start? How about at the beginning?

    It all began with the marriage of Mary Jane Wilson's parents, John Kelly and Mary Dulihead, in 1841. (Marriage Certificate image below.)

    They obviously arrived in Liverpool prior to the Potato Famine.

            Since they were at Bostock Street in 1861, which intersects Great Homer where she was at marriage in 1872, then possibly the "Victoria" address is one of three: Victoria Terrace (2) either 188A Netherfield Road North, N or 451 Torr St, St Domingo Rd, N1 or Victoria Place, Albion St. Evertron N1. All three are nearby. The groom's address, Latimer Street is the next north/south street west of Scotland Road.

            Using online Lewis's Handy Guide to Liverpool 1884 and the site Liverpool Streets A to Z.

              fascinating stuff Maybea , so that would put Mary as 35 as opposed to 28 .. and if (as was proclaimed ) she had a youthful look about her , why then wouldn't she shave a few years off her age . You have my attention

                  I believe the Victoria Street address is the one that was changed to Beatrice Street after 1871.

                  It was off Great Homer Street so it was in the same neighbourhood.

                    I wasn't too sure where to post this but I thought there were enough elements similar to the Royal Conspiracy theory to put it here.

                    The Royal connection comes through her son's marriage to Royal servants in 1919. At the very least, it could be the source of some of the rumours.

                        Here is Beatrice Street right below Robsart on the map supplied by Roy Corduroy. The underlined streets are the other known addresses. Victoria/Beatrice (1861 address) and Bostock (1871 address) are not underlined.

                          I originally put the story in Other Mysteries and then, since there were no objections and/or no alternative solutions (until recently), I decided to move it to The Royal Conspiracy.

                            It would be helpful if you could give a brief precis of this story of Jack and what is the royal connection?

                            As Mary and John Kelly are the commonest Irish Names, why do you think Wilson is Mary Kelly? Is there evidence she lived in the East End in the 1880s or Wales?

                            When did Mary Jane Wilson die, has a death been found? Where was she living? What was her last recorded address in a census record.

                            There is no evidence that MK had a child, from anyone one who knew her. I am sure that Barnett might have mentioned it, or McCarthy.

                            There is no connection with Liverpool, none of her friends mentioned Liverpool as a place she knew.
                            This MK is quite a few years older and seems to have lead a very different life.

                            It is interesting, but some things need to be clarified.

                              After her marriage in 1872, things start to get interesting. Her brother Henry married the sister of a servant of Liverpool cotton merchant, Augustus Agelasto.
