Mary Agnes McGuire

3 November 1891 – 7 October 1987

A Mary Agnes McGuire buried at Ipswich has the exact death date recorded here, strongly indicating the target, but the grave list gives no relatives. Mary Agnes appears to have remained under the McGuire surname and was buried at Ipswich in 1987, matching our family tree's death date exactly.

Life

Our family tree names Mary Agnes McGuire as a daughter of James McGuire and Margaret Ellen Hickey and gives her birth as 3 November 1891. That exact birth and her parentage are not confirmed by an original record in this archive.

An Ipswich cemetery list records "McGUIRE | Mary Agnes | | d: 7 Oct 1987." The uncommon full-name match and exact agreement with our family tree's death date strongly suggest that the entry concerns this woman, though the grave list gives no age or relatives. Her continued use of the McGuire surname is consistent with the entry but does not establish whether she ever married. Nothing is known here of her residence, work, or other life events.

How we know this: The death date has a strong cemetery match, but her birth, parents, and marital history remain unverified. [1][2]
