There is a Mary Mallard in Ira's will and I am assuming it is her but cant find a marriage.

1891
Ira James abt 1817 Bream Eaves, Gloucestershire, England Head West Dean, Gloucestershire
Ann James abt 1815 Pellowell, Gloucestershire, England Wife West Dean, Gloucestershire
Mary J James abt 1886 In France Foundling West Dean, Gloucestershire

If Ira dies in 1898 - this would make Mary "James" approx 13 at the time - possible to be the Mary Mallard but a little young to have married.

a long shot is an 18 yr old.

1891
