     Mary Jardine, daughter of Thomas Jardine and Mary Blair, was born on 22 April 1878 in Blantyre, Lanarkshire, at Pilot Acre. Her birth was recorded as being illegitimate with her name as Mary Blair. Her father's name was not given, but as Thomas Jardine is named as the father of her two older brothers (by being present at the registration of their births), it seems reasonable to infer that Thomas was also Mary's father.1,3

Mary was the fourth of five children. Her siblings were Thomas (b 1871), Alexander (b 1873), Jane (b c1875) and James (b 1880).

Mary Jardine appeared in the 1881 census of Blantyre, Lanarkshire, at Stonefield, in her parents' household.3

Mary Jardine married Patrick McGovern, son of Edward McGovern and Margaret Hart, after Banns, according to the rites and ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Church on 27 May 1898 at the Roman Catholic Chapel, Strathaven, Lanarkshire. The marriage was conducted by John Cameron. Their witnesses were Patrick Grady and Anna Horan.2,4,5

Mary registered the birth of her daughter Margaret McGovern in 1901 at 10 Sandknowe in Strathaven.6,4

Mary and Paddy appeared in the 1901 census of Strathaven, Lanarkshire, at 10 Sandknowe. Their children Mary and Margaret were listed as living with them.4
