Mary Ann Mooney (about 1830-1918)

Mary Ann Mooney is Dermot's 2nd great grandmother. She was born about 1830 in London, Middlesex to Michael and Unknown (--?--) Mooney.

I have not been able to find much about Mary Ann before she married John Jacob Westhoff. I have various years given as her year of birth from 1825 to 1830 and despite much searching, I have not been able to find a census from 1841 or 1851 that seems to fit.

I have not expanded on the details, as they are mostly the same as in Johann Jacob Westhoff's record, which can be found here.
