Life
Our family tree reports that Mary Condon was born in 1855 and associates her with Staffordshire. It assigns Patrick Condon and Mary B. Ryan as her parents, John Gorman as her husband, and four children: Bridget, Michael Charles, Joseph Patrick, and John. The tree later connects the family with descendants in Renfrew County, Ontario.
The only quoted details are "DATE 1855" and "STAE Staffordshire." No civil birth, marriage, Canadian census, or Ontario death record in this archive confirms these details, including the reported death year of 1918. This woman belongs to a separate proposed branch and is not evidence for the documented Cork family.
How we know this: Weak: all biographical details and relationships are unverified claims recorded here. [1]

Historical context
These background articles explain the places, work, and events in this entry.
Bayonne and the Industrial Waterfront, 1870–1920
The Bayonne in these family records was a new city built around water, rails and heavy industry. Bayonne Township was formed only in 1861, uniting older settlements on Bergen Neck; it became a city in 1869. The…
What Sponsors and Witnesses Can Tell Us
Catholic registers often preserve the people standing just outside a family photograph. A baptism normally names the child, parents, date and sponsors or godparents; a marriage normally names the couple and wit…

Farmers and Labourers in North Cork
Two words in the Cork records—“farmer” and “labourer”—describe different positions in the same rural economy. When John Fitzgerald married Margaret Fraher at Kildorrery in 1870, the register called John, his fa…

What we still don't know
- Staffordshire birth registration or baptism
- Marriage to John Gorman
- Canadian residence and children
- Death and burial
- Staffordshire civil birth, marriage to John Gorman, 1881/1891 Canadian census, Ontario death. This person must not be used as evidence for the Cork family.
- Who were the parents of this Staffordshire-born Mary Condon? Mary Ryan (born about 1843, married in 1865) cannot be her mother; Patrick Condon’s separate parent link also requires direct evidence.
- [CONFLICT] This reported 1855 Staffordshire/Canadian woman cannot be a child of Patrick Condon and Mary Ryan’s 1865 marriage and must remain a separate problem.
