Phila Death Records: Mary Hickey, 75, widow, d 22 Oct 1876 (b c 1801), brain 
softening and paralysis, b Ireland, addr rear of 943 Adler St, 20th Ward, bur 25 Oct 
1876 Cathedral Cemetery, undertaker Maurice Hayes (who was undertaker for a 
number of the Hickeys and Dowlings). but this person may be too old to be her. Per 
Phila Inquirer obit, this person is widow of Patrick Hickey. Not our Mary Ann.

Another: Mary Hickey, age 68, widow, d 15 Nov 1886, phthisis, b Ireland, addre 152 
Center St, ward 22, bur 18 Nov 1886, New Cathedral Cemetery, undertaker Maurices 
Hayes [this person is not on 1880 census] Doubt it is her, too young

Penna NJ Church Rec on ancestry, burial  24 Nov 1876 at Old Cathedral Cemetery for 
Mary A Hickey, age 64 (so b 1812) particulars on grave is "2 from East" section 
K/8/16
Also in K/8/16 2 from East are Michael Hickey age 73 bur 17 Jun 1874, and Margaret 
Hickey bur 16 July 1874 age 66 (definitely Peter's wife), and a Joseph Hickey age 15 
months (child of Maurice) bur  May 11 1874

census shows varying ages, but if oldest child born in 1832, the age 38 on 1850 
census makes more sense than the 40 on the 1860 census and the 50 on the 1870 
census unless she died and he remarried.

Pa and NJ Church and Town rec on ancestry, bur OCC K/8/16
document from OCC 6 July 2015
age 64
Phila Death Cert addr 1248 No 18th St (same addr as others) (29th Ward), gives date 
of burial as Oct 24, so either there was a delay or there is an error in cemetery record
