But there was a death announcement for Mary: "McDonald. March 8th, at her residence 45 Upper Hope Place, Mary, widow of the late Hugh McDonald of Boisdale". This was placed in the Liverpool Mercury, Saturday, 12th March, 1881. Similar announcements were also made in the Daily Courier and the Liverpool Echo of that day. Regards, John Hardy.
