Grace - Gavin

Judith Grace and Sam O'Rourke* are my great great grandparents. Judith's mother's name was also recorded as 'Mary Gordon/Garland' in the priest's notes.

So, here goes the Grace family history, and note that the b. is usually the day they are baptized and not born & d. is the day they were buried and not the day they died. You have to look for the original documents to determine this precisely:

Michael Grace (b. abt. 1763 in Ireland & died in 1841, St. Columban, Quebec) married Mary Gavin (Gordon) (b. abt. 1763, Kilkenny, Ireland & died July 22, 1842, St. Columban, Quebec) in Ireland abt. 1819.
