The 1871 English states she was born in Ireland. Her parents on the 1871 Census state they were both born Ireland. His Occupation listed as a hawker of pots which would seem to be right as on her Marriage Certificate it states her fathers occupation as Hawker.
Mary and John had 8 children born in England 5 of which died before immigrating to Australia in 1874 where they went on to have another son John. After Johns birth his father died and 10 years after Johns birth his mother went on to have my grandfather Sanders to an unknown person.

Sanders was 9 years of age when his mother died and he with his brother John were sent to an Industrial School for a period of 5 years as neglected children. 2 of their 3 sisters appeared before the courts on numerous occasions and both ended up in Mental Asylums.
I would appreciate any help with my family.
