Mary Jane Bell was the daughter of Edward & Catherine Bell. Catherine's maiden name was Lackey, who may have been born in Cavan. Catherine may have died 13 July 1864 - I have nothing to date to confirm that this is indeed Edward’s wife, and Mary's mother. But it could be. The entry is in the same parish register as her daughter - Mary Jane’s children have been baptised. The only words on the parish entry dated July 1864 are: “13th - Funeral of Mrs Bell - Killmore?” or Killanure (Killynure)? townlands.
