Hi Brian, I can find a William Barry and Mary Wilkinson as parents of two of the children I know Mary had. So, your skill has directed me in a positive way with my research. Thank you. What I can't find is anything that gives Mary Wilkinson the middle name of Jane. I have looked at Mary and Jane's year of birth I think that they are one and the same. As you point out, divorce was not an option and there is 'devout Catholicism', as my grandparents would have said, running in the family. Can you tell me where you found Mary Wilkinson's middle name, Jane? My apologies if I have missed something in your information.
