My relatives have all said she was a De grey. Even though have never found any evidence.  Can you find Mercy on the 1871 and 1881 census records

many thanks for your help

Have only found De grey and Hadley. Don't know. It strange my great Aunt only knew the Degrey name. Never heard Bracknell mentioned. Spoke to relative last week and she said she was called Mercy De Grey. Its definitely a mystery

thank you for all your help
