Roger, Thanks for the information on Grace.  I would be interested in anything you may have ..do you have any pictures.  I have put together information on the family etc and am happy to share.  Thanks again.  Irene

I have been researching my grandmother Grace McCluskey daughter of Grace Comb and Joseph McCluskey.  Grace married Donald McKechnie in Brooklyn NY around 1913 although I still cant find a wed cert.  Grace was living with her sister Sarah in Brooklyn before she got married.  There is some evidence that she was married to a Charles or Ralph Riley in Montreal who later died.  She had a child called Grace I was led to believe this was a child from her first marriage but again I can not find a birth cert.  Her child Grace does not appear on any documentation I have found from 1912-1915 in USA and Canada.  There is family talk that the child Grace was sent back to Scotland but I cant find her.  Grace and Donald stayed in USA and Canada until 1916 before returning to Edinburgh were my father Donald was born on the 24th July 1916.  Grace is later found living with the family in Scotland and marriedDavid Timpany in 1941 she uses the name McKechnie as her surname but im not sure.  If anyone can shine any light on this it was be much appreciated.  thanks Irene
