Mary Ann Joughin was born at West Nappin, Jurby, 1901 July 3rd, the daughter of Andrew Joughin and Margaret Rosanna McHale. Andrew was a blacksmith, of the middle of five generations of a family of blacksmiths of Jurby and latterly Douglas. The last, John Thomas Joughin of Douglas, might still be alive.

As you say, Mary Ann had two sisters. She also had two brothers. The elder, Andrew, was killed in France in 1918, five weeks before the Armistice.
