1862-1890

Mary Ann Weatherby was born on September 8th, 1862 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada to Peter Weatherbie and Louisa Carver.  She was baptized at St. Dunstan's Basilica by D. McDonald on September 30th, 1862.

I don't have much information on her until his marriage to Frederick Patrick Connolly in 1887.  This was likely in Charlottetown and could have occurred at the Basilica, as they were both Catholic. Their first child, Edward Austin. Connolly was born on November 8th, 1888 in In New Glasgow, Prince Edward Island or Nova Scotia.  

1891-1910

Their second child, Maud M. Connolly(1891-1975) was born on November 2nd, 1991 in Prince Edward Island.  The family moved from Prince Edward Island after her birth and before the birth of their next child.  Helen A. Connelly(1893-1985) was born in Massachusetts on June 29th, 1893.  Their next daughter, Mary Gertrude Connelly(1895-1972) was born on June 6th, 1895 in Needham, MA.

They moved back to Charlottetown, PEI before the birth of their next daughter in 1897.  Jueannette Connolly(1897-1989) was born in Charlottetown, PEI on October 7th, 1897.  Their last child, Madeline Carver Connelly(1899-1990) was also born in Charlottetown, PEI on April 25th, 1899.

According to the 1900 U.S. Census, the family was back in Massachusetts and renting at 24 Washburn Ave., Cambridge, MA. Most of the documents show that she went by Anne or Annie instead on Mary.  She is listed as having 7 children but only 6 of them are living.  That means that she lost a child at some point but I don't have any other information about this.  This census says she immigrated in 1899 but other records show her arriving in 1880 and between 1891 and 1893.  She can read, write and speak English.

1910-1939

By 1910, according to the 1910 U.S. Census, they had moved and were renting at 50 Cedar Street, Cambridge, MA.  In the 1920 U.S. Census, she is living in the Cedar Street house with son and three of her daughters.  Her husband is no longer living with them.  She is list as not being a naturalized citizen.

By the 1930 U.S. Census, she is listed as being a widow and living with her daughters, Helen, Madeline and Jueannette.  They are renting a house at 135 Holwarthy St., Cambridge MA for $45.00 a month.  It says she immigrated in 1905 and has become a naturalized citizen. She appears to have died in 1939 in Cambridge, MA but I haven't found anything else on this yet and don't know the location of her burial.
