My 2xgreat grandmother was Mary Jane Gray.
Mary was born around 1832 and her parents names were Henry and Ellen.
Mary came to Australia as part of the Earl Grey Irish Orphan scheme in 1848 at which time both her parents were described as being deceased.
Mary had been in the Armagh Workhouse almost continuously since 1842 and her older sister Ellen was also an inmate for some of that time.
Mary settled in Moreton Bay, present day Brisbane.
Mary had six daughters with an ex English convict Alexander Dunn between 1852 and 1867.
Mary passed away in 1885.
I am descended from her fifth daughter Rose.
