General Notes
Mary is the illegitimate daughter of Ann Grace. William Balshaw (grocer) may not be her father, but instead another William (a coal miner).
When she married, Mary recorded her father as William Grace, miner and was living at 13 Hawkinson Street, Wavertree. It could be her father was a William and a grocer, not a miner, who died soon after her parents married.
In April 1861, Mary Grace (5, daughter) was with mother Ann and step-father William Bolshaw (a grocer's assistant). They had just married 10th February and were living at Highfield Road, West Derby.
Ann and new husband John Potter were still there in 1864 when son James was born.
The marriage didnt last long. William Bolshaw died in 1862 and Ann remarried the following year.
In 1883, Mary maried William Gore. Mary's father was William Grace, a miner.
