James featured in The Journal of the Friends Historical Society in 1926, in an article entitled 'Friends Meeting House In Bristol 1850' accompanying a painting of several of the friends:[3]
JAMES GRACE (c. 1796-1858). " For the greater part of his life James Grace was a grocer and tea dealer. Towards the close of his life he joined another Friend in a business, which under his sons and grandsons developed into the well-known firm of ' James and Henry Grace,' Chartered Accountants (now known as ' Grace, Darbyshire and Todd'").
James Grace's younger daughter, Sarah Mercy Capper, is still living. She was the last woman Friend of Bristol and Frenchay Monthly Meeting who had to gain consent of both the men's and women's meetings prior to marriage ; she and the late William Smallwood Capper were married at the Friars Meeting House, Sept. 9. 1851." (Note prepared by J. Edward Grace.)
