Biography

Alicia was married to John Gray sometime before 27th July 1813,^[1] we don't have her birth date so the one given is an estimate. Her surname is spelt as Vough in the book but this is not uncommon as the name was pronounced with the 'O' sound in this area of Ireland. In the record her middle name is given as the initial 'A' we believe this is for Alicia also she may have been referred to as Mary...

Her death occurred on the 2nd February 1869,^[2][3][4][5] the notice sourced below states:

GRAY. February 3, at the residence of her son, Alicia Margaret, relict of the late Captain John Gray, JP, Dalefield, County Roscommon.

I believe this to be a place in Castlerea, her father George Vaugh owned land near here himself.
