Hi Gerard

             thanks for the reply.I think it may have been  Mary Gray that married twice, but it must have been after 1911 when her husband Charles Quinn died because they had a daughter called Elizabeth born 1911 in Newry A family story is that Charles may have died at sea ? He may have been buried in Drumcree Cemetery with Mary Gray and Annie Rodgers ?

They moved to Newry between 1905 and 1908  because they had a daughter called Susanne [known as Dolly] born 1905 in Dundalk and a son called Peter born in Newry in 1908
