My ancestress was names Mary Gready, and she was born in approx. 1833. I know from the 1861 census of Lancashire that she was born in Queens County. In 1857 she married my gg grandfather William Heyes in Stalybridge, and according to the marriage certificate her father was Michael Gready, weaver, and he was dec. aat the time of the marriage. I don't know when she came to England, but was in Ashton-u-Lyne in 1852, where she had a son(illegitimate) called Isaac Gregory. Maybe she came to England because of the pregnancy.
