Grail Family (General)

George Henry Grail was married first to Mary Ann Lewis who died in 1892 around the time of the birth of Cissie.
He remarried whilst Clifford and Cissie were still quite young.

I have two links with my family - on both maternal and paternal sides

Mary Ann had two sisters - Elizabeth and Clara, and a brother.

1. Elizabeth married Colston Higgs (my maternal great grandparents)
Clifford Grail was close to my grandfather (his cousin) and there is a letter in which he apologises for being unable to be his best man due to work commitments - he taught at a school - I believe there is a memorial to him in a window there?

2. Clara married John Prosser (my paternal grandparents)so Clifford and Cissie were also cousins to my father and uncle (Wilf and Jim)

Would be delighted to exchange further info with you
