Could it be she was from somewhere other than Ireland? I know McIntyre is a Scottish surname, could she have been Scottish?

There are McIntyres in Ireland.
Rather than pondering this I would do as Sinann suggests and get the birth and death certificates of your grandmother ......they are the essential building blocks that will enable you to do further research.  If you have not got your parents certificates then get these as well.   

I would get the printout, ie copies of the original documents.
Yes that's gonna be my next step. Then I can stop all the pondering! Thanks for all the help everyone has given me, much appreciated. :)

Obviously that isn't my great grandmother then, she was another Mary McIntyre it would seem...my great grandfather is no longer a mystery, so thankyou for all the information as he was for a good while! Like I said I think the best thing is to order a birth cert for my grandmother.

Also on John Joseph's death cert, it says "Knockanree Avoca" that is where my grandmother was from.

Yes it is definitely them...my grandmother was Grace Frances, she also has a sister called Eileen Frances, and a brother called John Joseph, to me it's too much of a coincidence. I think all of this is being complicated by that family story. I will definitely order a copy of my grandmother's birth certificate, but from Ancestry, all of my nans siblings have McIntyre listed as the Maiden name of the mother.

I could be absolutely wrong but I am just assuming, trying to make sense of it.

I'm beginning to believe my great grandmother Mary converted from her Catholic religion to marry my great grandfather John Joseph...who was a member of the Church of Ireland religion...her fathers name was name was Patrick, could she have lied about his name,  saying Stephen as if she said her father's real name, an instantly recognisable Catholic name, they would have raised an eyebrow in that church they were married in? This was 1925 after all

Thankyou very much. I think that's him as On the marriage certificate to my gt grandmother his father is listed as John Long. I think I will apply for a birth certificate for my grandmother and go from there
