Dear Marjorie,
Last night ,for the first time, I checked the Grimsby board and found your message. I tried to respond privately, but failed. I used google search engine to hunt for your last name. I found the notice of your honor in '99 as Woman of the Year". So I'm trying again to reply to the board, hoping you still check it.
My great uncle listed "GRIMSBY" as the maiden name of his mother when he gave info for his brother's death in 1914. My
mother told me her grandmother's maiden name was Ray. So which one is right? My g grandmother, Lily Ann Ray (REA)
had her first child christened in Kingston in 1849, so I definately think there is some connection here. If you see this
you can reply to me by e-mail at: jengan#rcn.com if you prefer. Excitedly, Jessie Engan

My great grandfather, William GRIMSBY born Ireland 1825 to William GRIMSBY and Mary Ann RAY. Emigrated to Canada 1837 with an aunt who died on board ship. Arrived Halifax alone and travelled somehow to Kingston, Ontario to find his brother(s). No more info until 1859 when he married my great grandmother, Jane GALLAGHER.
