Notes:

I am searching for any information about a Thomas Grace from County Meath, who died in the late 1850's there. He was married at the time, although I do not know his wife's name. They had 2 children, Mary Grace (born about 1853) and a male infant at the time of his death. His surviving spouse, daughter and infant son left Ireland shortly after his death and went to New Orleans, Louisiana to live with the surviving spouse's cousins, the Donegans. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Grace.
