[N.B., The birthplace of Ireland given for Winnie, her parents and the parents of Grandison does not match the 1870 census data and appears to be an error by the enumerator. The confusion seems to have originated with the birthplace of Ireland given for Maggie Freil, enumerated with the family living next door]
