Succeeded the business of her husband on his death in 1800 and continued it her own name (Pollard).

[Details differ according to sources: the Dublin Directories and Humphries & Smith give the dates and addresses as above. Hogan gives 3 Moore Street from c. 1801 to 1815 only. Note: Pollard states that John died in 1800 yet he is listed as a 'professor of music' in the Melodia Sacra in 1814 which may suggest that either he was alive and active at this date or that Mary was still using his name.]
