Angela,
Can you tell me the ages of the sons (and of Mary)? What parish & county are they
supposed to be from? Also, where did they end up?
What is the triple-surname from? Did she marry twice (once to an OWENS and then to
OWEN)?
Rumor aside, it may be that Mary had never gone through the ritual to become a Catholic
and so this precluded her from burial in a Catholic cemetery.
Regards,
Julie Preston

Julie,
Thank you for your reply. The information that I have is reported from the LDS films
but the person who gathered them many years ago has since passed. I do have all of the
names & dates that he got but no documentation to go with it. I have yet to order any
of the films.
I am focusing on a Mary Jones-Owens-Owen who immigrated in 1860 with her three sons.
Two of the boys were Catholic priests. She was buried in a Presbyterian cemetery and
rumor has it that it was because she was too poor to be buried in the Catholic cemetery.
To order the films is so inexpensive, I think that I will just order all that they have
and see what I can come up with. I thank you.
Angela
