Hi John, As a result of your mention of, "I was hoping the family was mentioned in a local history book to flesh thing out." I had a look in our reproduction (on CD) of "A History of the County of Grey," product number CA0130 for any mention of "Grady." (This is relatively easy because we have formatted the copy for computer text searches - sometimes called an "every-word index.") There were three Gradys shown up in the search, an Edward, a Thomas and a James. They all appeared in the extracted alphabetical directory of the county for 1865 which is one of the chapters in the book so that their civic locations (i.e., concession and lot) are given. The book also contains a chapter describing the (then) township of Sydenham (the Ontario locator says it no longer exists) in depth, including some history of the centers of population. This may give you some of the background to "flesh things out" you are looking for but I didn't see any specific mention of the Gradys in the description. We have placed a downloadable "sampler" of the book on our web site - go to Downloads - so you can see what the book looks like if you are interested. Hope this helps.
