I have been unable to find a marriage certificate as of yet. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

Reading this thread is amusing for me, because I know a lot of the places involved. I know people who live on Valley Terrace currently, and I drive on Purchase St. and past the King Street Nursing Home all the time.

Yes, that is correct! Thanks once again. Interestingly, Grace is buried under the name Daisy Grundy in Willston, Pennsylvania. Margaret was the name of her step-mother (surname Gillanders) and Brown was her biological mother's surname, but she died in 1899.
[Edit] I just got your new reply!

Yes, couldn't understand why I couldn't find Grace and then she popped up under Daisy ::)
Sounds like you already have the info though.

I do have some info on Daisy/ Grace. My grandmother always knew she was known as Daisy and she married Jack Grundy, but it took me quite a while to find all the info! No idea if they had children though, but I will keep digging!
