Biography* Mary Laurence Cody, ca1858-1931:
Born to farmers in Mullinahone, County Tipperary, Ireland Mary's birthdate is not yet known. It is believed that she immigrated to Australia circa 1881. There is conflicting evidence of her father's name. It is listed as John on her 1883 marriage cert and as Andrew in her 1931 death cert. There is also conflicting evidence concerning her mother's maiden name. In the 1883 marriage cert it listed as Doreen and as Direen in the 1931 death cert. Mary's 1883 marriage to John Cody, a man 22-years her senior, was performed by the Rev. John Francis Fitzgerald before witnesses Dominick Bruggenan and Andrew Laurence (her father? her brother?)

Mary, 73, died at her home at 45 Barrow Street, Brunswick on a Thursday. The cause of death was chronic nephritis (years), uraemia (months). Dr. O'Keefe was her physician. Mary was predeceased by her husband, one son and one daughter. She was survived by five children. Mary's funeral was held on Friday. D. A. Hayes was in charge of the burial.
