Notes

Finally, I have located the Baptismal Certificate of the fifth child of James Forrey and Mary Grace. Her name was Regina Winifred Forrey. Have you ever heard anything about her? She was born August 22, 1880 (Mary Grace was pregnant when they took the 1880 census). She was baptized September 5, 1880 at St. Alphonsus Church in New Orleans. The parents are listed as James Forrey of Ireland and Mary Grace of New Orleans. Her sponsors were Michael Casey and Maria Shea. I checked the 1880 census for them. Michael Casey's occupation was listed as a screwman, so he was probably a friend of James'. Maria Shea (spelled Shay in the census) was the next door neighbor of James and Mary Grace. That poor woman had 4 children 10 or under when James died. With the location of this 5th child, it confirms what Mary Grace had said in the 1900 Galveston census, that she had 8 children, 7 of whom were still living in 1900. I have searched the 1900 Galveston census for Regina, but have not found her yet. Since she was 20 in 1900, she may have been married by that time.
