Thank you so much for the interesting information. I am wanting to pass this on to any family members who would be interested.

Interestingly there was a Salvatore Marino living in Connecticut during that time frame - so there may be a link with Mary Kelly and Salvatore in Connecticut ??

I have a newspaper cutting of the marriage of Salvatore Marino to a Lucille Detoro at St Johns Church Middletown.  There is a Middletown in Connecticut, but also lots more Middletowns in America.  Do you have, or do you know ifanyone has an interest in this family?  I would like to pass the album on to a family member.
Best Regards Gill

Mary Kelly was the sister of Frances Kelly/Detoro -  Mary Kelly was also a teacher, so that could be the connection to Grace Venner.
