Mary's brothers' Charles and John were given up for adoption, Charles being raised on the South Shore (Massachusetts), and John in Canada. Mary met her brothers again when she was in her 40's. Charles had his own business, and John could barely speak English (probably spoke French). Mary is listed in the 1920 census as the adopted daughter of Hugh Reilly, who's wife was Annie (Massison) (though 1920 lists his wife as Mary E.). She is listed in the 1930 census as living with and being the "sister-in-law" to Lawrence Hopkins who was married to Annie M. (Reilly), Annie and Hugh's daughter and considered a sister of Mary. Annie Hopkins was also known as Doo-doo; and she had three (3) children in 1930: Arlene (AKA "Mickey"), Lawrence & Harold (the last two are for whom Mary's second child is named).
