NOTE: The Lezayre recording scribe of this time used the English custom of recording a married woman's surname. Thus, 'Crowe' would have been the 
surname of her husband and not her maiden surname. However, if the scribe were using the English custom of recording names, then daughter Mary's 
maiden names is Corlett, and her married surname is Crowe, indicating that her mother Mally/Mary married twice.
