I am not and cannot be positive that the two Graces are the same person but I would lay a small wager that they are. I cannot find an alternative Scotch Grace to fit the bill. Daughter Jane's details hold up. I can see a reason why Grace would fudge her age. It is possible of course that Ralph was the real father of Jane although Jane is not a family name with my BELLs. Are you going to develop that little story you wrote Roy? I'm already casting it in my mind for a TV miniseries. Called "Amazing Grace" of course.
