Henry Grady Foxboro family

Sean McNeill had mentioned that he found that part of Henry Grady's family (from Foxboro -- this is great grandfather Thomas's brother) had emigrated to Massachusetts.

Son Patrick, born 1864, emigrates 1884, naturalization 1888:

brothers William and Michael as witnesses.

This looks like daughter Sarah, married to John Roche in Lowell, MA in 1913:

The great escape to the US does not work out for many, as Sarah dies of "labor pneumonia" in 1915:

more to come ...

mystery photo solved

 OK, Mary Regan was married to Patrick Mullins. On ancestry.com, here's a pic posted of Patrick:

And here's the mystery photo:

Looks like the same guy!

Here's a pic from ancestry.com of Mary, Patrick, and their son John:

And the other mystery pic:

mystery solved! (?)

Mary Regan

Martin O'Grady marries Catherine Regan, who has a sister Mary who also emigrates to the US. We know she married, had a child, and dies young. The child lives with Martin and Catherine for a while, until her husband re-marries. 

Again, familysearch.org is a great source (and free!):

Patrick and Mary have a son, John, born 1919.

Mary dies 1922.

From ancestry.com, pic of Patrick with his son John:

Son John dies 2006 in Somerset NJ. He is buried in Our Lady of the Isle Cemetery in Dering Harbor, NY:

His wife Gertrude and his son Thomas are buried there as well:

Gertrude Mullins Obituary, 2006:

So, Mary has other surviving grandchildren.

Helen O'Grady, daughter of Martin and Catherine

John found 'hgs205' posted updates about the gravesites for Joseph and Anna McCallion. When I contacted that user, they recommended familysearch.org, where I finally found the record for Helen:

Josephine:

Where would this be? From Martin: likely Florida as this is where they went on their honeymoon.

Their daughter Joan died in 2002:

1940 census, 99 Lockwood Ave, Yonkers. Lockwood intersects with Rossiter Ave:

Ganlys

Our working theory (thanks Sean McNeil) is that Michael Grady's wife Mary Ganly was from neighboring Creggameen (this would be great-great-grandparents).

This is "Widow Ganly" from Griffiths Evaluation in 1857 in Creggameen:

Her plot is #21 in Creggameen. Michael's is number 6 in Derreenteige (the Gradys move to the area of plot #2 later on), both in lower right center:

So, the plots nearly border each other. She likely would have a hard time farming 14 acres on her own, and Michael only has 3!

Widow Mary Ganly dies 1873, age 80:

So is the Mary Ganly that Michael marries her daughter, dies 1897 (herself a widow, as Michael dies young?)
