I know Grace gives her parents as Edward and Mary but I wonder if 2 brothers married 2 sisters and these are her aunt and uncle along with her gran.

Yes, I saw that one too and wondered. I think you're right and it would certainly be worth looking into! Otherwise, her parents are elusive...

Cheers,

I think you may be right.
In the marriage records and her death registration the mother of Elizabeth Grace Robertson (nee Rorke) is stated as being Mary Rorke previously Lundie (nee Mulherron), father; Edward Rorke.
As I've only been doing this for two years you can see why I've got brain ache!
