Hi Margot. I really appreciate the time you have taken to try to help me and for the links you have sent. Unfortunately I had already checked all of these sources of information. I have a lot of information about the Graces but am at a loss as to how to uncover more. I know a couple of the other names from the marriage record you sent are connected to George Grace of Brittas: Mary married to Hazzard Ryves was a daughter of George and his second wife Martha. The Dublin Evening Mail in 1848 had the following In Fethard aged 77 years Mrs Mary Ryves, relict of Hazzard Ryves of Cashel and sister of George Grace Esq, Barrister at law and late of Cashel; Harriot Grace married to Michael Browne was another daughter of George and Martha.

There seems to be plenty of information about what happened to Brittas Castle after Margaret married Henry Langley but very little about the period beforehand. George Grace (nephew of Oliver of Brittas Castle) was married to Mary Egan (or Carroll) by 1747 as she is included as his wife in a number of Court of Chancery records as early as 1747 and he was married to Martha Clarke some time after late 1757 but well before 1768 when he wrote his will, as he already had a number of children by Martha by then.

I have had no luck finding any of the graves of the family members that I know of (have searched through all the records from Tipperary Studies) which is why I'm wondering whether there was a family graveyard at the castle. Thanks again, Jenny

 

 

Ok, I did notice this from a ship list....... do you know him?     West Gate is in County Wexford.

GRACE Patrick 1859 25 Britis ,Thurles (IDJ) xx Referrees=John Grace of West Gate & Anthony Dwy er.Pd for by John Grace,Maitland. Ship = Daphne

Look at County Waterford as Clonmel records overlap Tipperary and Waterford.

 The marriage of George Grace and Hannah Lane was in 1817 in Waterford.... Waterford and Lismore.
There is a tree in familysearch stating the place name as Drumconnon which is north of Tramore.
I will come back as I need to do a bit more digging.

Hi Margot. I don't know anything about the reference to Patrick Grace but will look into it and see what I can find.  Some of the Grace records are for catholic families whereas my ancestors seem to have belonged to the Church of Ireland at least back as far as George who married Mary Egan, in the 1740s as they had a Prerogative Marriage Licence. John Grace married to Ellen Purcell were Catholic so I don't know exactly when at least some branches of the family changed to the Church of Ireland. 

Re George Grace married to Hannah - the Roots Ireland record has them married in the Church of Ireland, Parish of Drumcannon, Co Waterford. They were married in Tramore and Hannah was the daughter of William Lane Esq, barrister and Vicar General of the Diocese of Waterford and Lismore. I have information about them and all of their children - Maria and Elizabeth emigrated to Australia, William Arthur emigrated to the USA, George Weston died at age 17 and Anne married David Francis Hearn (I don't know what happened to this couple after their marriage). After George died, Hannah remarried to John Nixon and had another daughter - Arabella Francis Nixon. Kind regards, Jenny
