GRACEY family Portadown

[cassiar]

Hi,
I'm looking for the parents, sibs, etc. of Hugh Gracey b. Feb. 19, 1855; d. Feb 27, 1930.  His father's name was Robert Gracey. 
Hugh Gracey married Eliza Jane Heron in 1882 in Lurgan, and they and their 11 children lived on Shillington St. in Portadown in 1901.  At that time he was an Urban Council Officer.

The townlands mentioned where the Gracey's lived are between Portadown and Lurgan roughly equal distance between the two towns.

Hi Mary,
I think the Robert Greacy/Jane Albin marriage might be the right one (with the wrong spelling on Robert's surname!)  Two reasons: I think Church of Ireland in Portadown is more likely than the Civil Registrars Office in Newry, and
Hugh Gracey's first child's name was Alexander Albin.  Is there any way to find out anything further on this family?
