1862.Mary Margaret Grant was baptised 14/9/1862 to David Grant, labourer, & Margaret Griffin in Ballycordrai

1863. Ellen Grant was born to David & Margaret . . . . . Not on Irishgen Civil records : these only start 1864 Baptised 15/11/1863 in St John's parish as Eleanor Grant. Parents as stated, address Ballytruckle. Sponsors: Patrick Corcoran & Mary Power. -Roots Ireland record on her page: too early for Irishgen record

1866. James Grant was born 25/3/1866 to David Grant, labourer, & Margaret Griffin in Gashouse Lane . Informant was a Mary Griffin. The address here gave me the original ( before Maria obtained theRoots Ireland records!) circumstancial proof that Ellen's mother was Margaret Griffin

1868. Johanna Grant was born 5/9/1868 to David Grant, labourer, & Margaret Griffin in Gashouse Lane . Informant was David Grant, father . Michael & Catherine Griffin were sponsors in her baptism on 6/9/1868

1871. Stephen Grant was born 2/1/1871 to David Grant, labourer, & Margaret Griffin in Gashouse Lane . Informant was David Grant, father .

ste-grant

1871. Her husband, David Grant, 30, died 20/3/1871 at GasHouse Lane, of rheumatic peritonitis. She, Margaret, was the informant

So Margaret was left a widow with at least 4 children, aged 0-8 . Likely she remarried - no remarriage found 1871-1884

No obvious death for her on Irishgen nor in RI 1871-1900. Death in Walsh's Lane, aged 53, widow, informant Ann Croke - but did she have a daughter Ann ?? NO

**** NLI parish register apparently doesn't have any baptisms from 1837 (really unusual!)
