O'Grady/Grady (Graffin)
Griffith's Valuation records Thomas O'Grady as the immediate lessor in the townland of Graffin, parish of Killavinoge, barony of Ikerrin, county Tipperary. This townland of 818 acres was advertised for sale in the Encumbered Estates' Court in June 1852, the estate of Thomas Grove Grady. The petitioner was Henry Grove Grady. An earlier Henry Grove Grady who died in 1834 was agent to Lady Caroline Damer. The Lidwill entry in Burke's ''The Landed Gentry of Ireland'' (1904) records the (circa early 19th century) marriage of Henry Grove Grady of Bellwood, county Tipperary and Mary Margaret Lidwill, only daughter and heiress of Thomas Lidwill of Clonmore, parish of Killavinoge, and his wife Elizabeth Julia O'Grady of Kilballyowen. Graffin was previously part of the Lidwill estate. ''The King's Inns Admission Papers'' record Thomas Grove Grady and Henry Grove Grady as son of Henry Grove Grady and Mary Lidwill.
