Would anyone be able to help me find the children of Robert and Jane Gracey in Portadown?  I believe they were the parents of Hugh Gracey, born 1855 - am looking for his siblings.  Are there any census reports?

Thanks,

To Cassiar,

   Ive started researching this branch of the Heron/Gracey family and I would very much be interested to know what you have learned. I am a descendant of Frances Gracey, daughter of Hugh and Eliza Jane.

I very much look forward to hearing from you.

Laura

Hi Laura,
I'm so glad to hear from you.
Which of Frances' daughters are you descended from?
I have a fair bit of Frances' parents and sibling info if you don't already have that, and some photos and stories, but have hit a roadblock in trying to go further back. 
I can let you know what I've tried.
Would you like to communicate via PM?

Apparently I have to write a couple more posts to use the PM, however would you mind emailing me directly?

Thanks again!

I'd like for us to e-mail each other, but you don't want to put your e-mail address here.  We'll exchange e-mail addresses via a PM so that it's just between you and me.
So send a couple more posts right away and then we'll be able to do that.
Are you just beginning the family history?

Sounds good to me!
I am, I am now a student in Belfast so I have the direct means of finding and locating different information. Its much easier to be here and locate information, then be in Canada and try to look at sources at that only internet serviced. However, May was really excited to do some work of her own, but she hasn't been back in a while so I have decided to do some work on her behalf.
