Mary Ann Aribildo was also known as Annie Albro according to her son James' marriage record.
Mary Ann Aribildo was also known as Mary Ann Archibald as a theoretical possibility for her name that still needs full research. The names Aribildo and Arribon simply do not seem to exist. It is noted that there were Archibalds in North Esk Parish, Northumberland, New Brunswick in the 1860's. Please contact the Webmaster if you have further information.
As of 1894, Mary Ann Aribildo was also known as Mary Ann Arribon according her son, George R. Oxford's marriage record. Noted that she was possibly living with him at this time.
She was born bt 1844 - 1845 at New Brunswick, Canada, daughter of James Aribildo; of Irish (paternal) origin, in 1844, according to the 1881 census.
B 1861 Mary Ann Aribildo married James McKay MAYBE Open question: Was she married to a James McKay before Reuben? The Courtney Papers list "Reuben's" wife as "Mrs. James McKay." It may be that George R(euben) was her second husband. However, there is confusion with George R(euben)'s sister, Margaret, who married a James McKay -- also with George R(euben)'s sister-in-law, Catherine (Murphy) Oxford, who married this same James McKay after they both were widowed. Needs investigation. Please contact the Webmaster if you have further information.
