We find Mary in the Census Record of 1861 living with her parents James (Summers) and Janet (Robertson), along with siblings Elizabeth, James, David, Euphemia and Catherine (Summers). They reside in the Hamlet of Lochty, directly north of the Village of Carnbee, in the Parish of Carnbee, Fife, Scotland. Their surname is spelt incorrectly as "Somers"^[3]. However, the Census of 1871 has them back in the Parish of Crail, in Fife. They live with their children Euphemia, Catherine, Mary and Margaret "Maggie" Robertson (Summers) at a Cottar House in the Hamlet of Airdrie, west of the Town of Crail, District of Crail, in Fife, Scotland^[4].

By 1881, James and Jane; children James, Mary and Margaret "Maggie" Robertson (Summers); granddaughter, Georgina (Watson) and Farm Servants, James (Kidd) and John (Scott) are living at a Cottar, in the Hamlet of Bonnyton, north of the Village of Kirkton of Largo, District of Largo, in Fife, Scotland^[5]. George (Lumsden) has married Mary (Summers) by the Census Record of 1891. They live with their children William, Jessie Robertson and Catherine "Katie" Ireland (Lumsden) at the House Farm, in the Hamlet of Muircambus, north west of the Village of Kilconquhar, in the Parish of Elie, in Fife, Scotland^[6].

The family have moved to a Cothouse, in the Hamlet of Inch, south of the Village of Carnbee, in the Parish of Carnbee, in Fife, Scotland by the Census Record of 1901. George and Mary live there with children Jessie Robertson, Catherine "Katie" Ireland and James Summers (Lumsden)^[7]. They are still there with the Census of 1911, but only their daughters Catherine "Katie" Ireland and Mary Summers (Lumsden) remain with them^[8]. In the Spring of 1920, they are still at the Cottar House in the Hamlet of Inch, but now it is in the District of Pittenweem, in Fife, Scotland^[9].
