Family notes from a second cousin's grandfather says that one of his sisters, Mary (aka Minnie) Brady married a Mr Grace..possibly Arthur Grace. They lived in Dublin and came over to England. He was a glass worker in St Helens for a time...possibly in the 1920's or 30's
I have recently obtained a marriage certificate of Mary's sister Bridget Josephine Brady in 1908 Dublin and Mary Grace was one of the Witnesses.
Another second cousin who lives in Dublin, has details of his grandfather's marriage (Michael Brady) in 1913 and who should be one of the witnesses...Mary Grace again!
There are numerous Mary Grace's on the 1911 Dublin Census so I can't pin her down..certainly no Arthur Grace anywhere. Perhaps she was living in England and came over for her sisters' weddings.
Our Gt Grandfather Michael Brady's first born child was a Mary Brady born in 1873 Dublin, but as only 11 of the 18 children born to him and his wife survived, no guarantee that this Mary Brady is the one who married Mr Grace.
We know of 7 that did survive to adulthood so Mary born in 1873 could have died and there was another Mary born at a later date.
Has anybody got a Mary Grace nee Brady in their family tree?
This one is driving me nuts!
