Fryerning provided a lot of information, about the "possible" first marriage of William TITLEY, to Mary Ann SHEEHAN.
As pointed out by Fryerning, Mary Ann, later married EMMETT, and died on 31.12.1898. Mary ann's mother, was Mrs Bridget SHEEHAN, who used the alias of Mrs DOYLE, as per the Police Gazette info, provided by Kellie.
