Narrative
There is no doubt that this lady was Ann Sweetman.
I have her certificate of marriage to John Neary in 1882, her birth certificate in 1855 as the daughter of James Sweetman and Ann Sweetman (nee Blunt) and the birth of her daughter Catherine Mary Neary as the daughter of John Neary and Ann Neary (late TUSTIN, formerly Sweetman) in 1885.
This suggests that her Sweetman children were born out of wedlock. Her comment that she was Ann Neary, late Tustin, formerly Sweetman suggests that maybe her partner was a Mr. Tustin and that could be where her 'Sweetman' children came from. I have been unable to find a marriage between a Sweetman and a Tustin so far.
Ann Sweetman (it is claimed) said that she sent her daughters Catherine Neary and Maria Neary (at the age of 9 or 10) to live with their sister (assumed to be) Florence Sweetman, because Ann couldn't be bothered with them. This was probably after her daughter Florence Sweetman married in 1897.
