  1. 1.  Hendra, Mary Jane was born 27 May 1838, Crowan, Helston, Cornwall, England; died Sep 1907, Redruth, Cornwall, England.

    Notes:

    When I searched the actual 1881 Census of Gwinear on the film, it indicates Mary Jane is "deaf and dumb from fever". The identical census, which can be accessed on the internet, omits this information.
    1871 Census of Gwinear says she is deaf and dumb from fever

    History of Richard Hendra and Mary Rowe AND Richard Williams and Emily Jane Thomas

    Richard Hendra was a boarder at the Williams home. Mary Rowe was the maid. They married and had 2 children, Arthur and Myrtle. Mary got homesick, so Richard brought her back to England along with the 2 children. She died while there. Richard returned with the 2 children.
    Then Richard Hendra married Emily Jane Thomas Williams. They had a stillborn boy and Roy Irving Hendra.
    The home at 634 N. 5th Street stayed in the family until the summer of 1973 when its only occupant, Stanley Williams died. It was then sold to a family by the name of Niemi.

    Notes:

    Buried:
    I looked (May 2009) for her grave at the Ishpeming Cemetery and it was not in the location that the cemetery record office said it was. They looked up in the original record and found someone had crossed out her name and said, "not here."
    I believe she is buried there, but the records are incorrect and so we couldn't find it.
    We looked again in July 2013 and found her buried in the same plot with her father, Richard Hendra
