Question

Mary Grace born in Dublin, children Elizabeth, Patrick and Thomas. Occupation nurse, lived in Tallaght town and also Oldbawn. Date of death n/k. Any relation to Dunn and Lytle/Little family in Dublin.    By Marie

Answer 1

Your right about Dowdall but the Marriage Registry shows she was a widow called Mary Buckley at the time she married John Grace, her father was John Dowdall.

Elizabeth's birth record shows her name as Buckley too. It looks like she married John Buckley in 1880.

Comments

She had twin daughters by her first husband in 1881 called Mary & Elizabeth Buckley, his occupation was "Law Clerk".

Thank you for your answer. I didn't know she had twin daughters. I am interested in her because as a nurse she delivered my father.His name was Edward Wright. And his mother was Mary Jane Lytle/Little. But I don''t know anything about her. He was born in Oldcourt, Tallaght in 1916. I have come to a brick wall about her. Any ideas on tracing her. I am wondering about my Grandmother.

Thanks again.

Mary Grace is the 1901 and 1911 census. Her father was James so she is probably the Mary Dowdall born at Harold's Cross in 1860 - click here for link. More could be done with her but I'm not sure that investigating the District Nurse will reveal more about your family. 

Not sure I can do much with Mary Jane Lytle. The name Lytle is practically unknown in Dublin, it appears to be an Ulster name. Sometimes it is transcribed as Lytte, as this Mary Jane Lytle census record was. On the other hand Little is too common to research easily.

Do you have a family tree you could load on to Wikitree? That might help identify more leads.
