When did Mary Grimes die?

[Lisajb]

Would SKS be able to find when Mary Grimes died?

She was born Mary Jane Corroon (spelling can vary) in Dublin Bridge, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on 15th May 1897, to Thomas Corroon and Mary (nee Rourke.) Mary married John Grimes, a soldier, on 12th February 1919.

She later joins husband John in New York, passing through Ellis on 29th September 1924. The family, with children Thomas, Margaret, Anna and John, appear in the 1930 census. Thomas and Margaret are born in Scotland, Anna and John born New York.

Here is John Grimes's Petition for Naturalization in 1928.

It gives the exact DOB (Day/Month/Year) for him & Mary as well as for the four children.

Thank you. It all adds to the picture.

They appear to be at the same address as the Petition for Naturalization in the 1925 New York state census, but they are listed as Grahams instead of Grimes.   https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KSMX-JG3

312 E. 134th St., Bronx
John, head, white, male, age 37, born Ireland, in US 2 years, alien, laborer
Mary, wife, white, female, age 28, born Ireland, in US 9 months, alien, housewife
Thomas, son, white, male, age 6, b. Scotland, in US 9 months, alien, occupation - home
Mary, daughter, white, female, age 4, b. Scotland, in US 9 months, alien, occupation - home
Marg., daughter, white, female, age 3, b. Scotland, in US 9 months, alien, occupation - home

Do you have any further information on the rest of the family after 1930?  Do John or Mary have any other family in the US?

The New York City death index has a Mary Grimes, age 6, who died 12 Nov. 1927 in Bronx, New York.  Since she wasn't mentioned on the Oct. 1928 petition for naturalization, it seems likely to be her.
