Here's the info:

The only information I have is the ancestors name who it would be
connected to, her name was Mary Anne Sexton, and she was said to have
been born in New Brunswick, Canada in the 1850's. By family stories,
they say her family was associated with the Sexton Can Company in
Wilmington, MA, but I've seen no proof to that as of yet. They were
said to have been fairly wealthy, however, nothing about her ancestry
has been passed down over the years, other than she had English
descent.

Is this the lady the census says was born in England or have I got confused?
