  Family	Mary Tucker,   b. Cape Broyle, Newfoundland
  Married	24 May 1824	St. John's RC (Basilica) Parish, St. John's, Newfoundland   [7]
  A marriage record in St.John's (Basilica Parish) shows that a William Grant of "Island Cove" married Mary Green - alias Tucker (location unspecified) in 1824. It is my understanding that the use of the word "alias" signifies that Mary's maiden name was Tucker but she had previously been married to a man named Green. The Cape Broyle voter's lists, between 1840 and 1859, show that there was a William Tucker who lived on the north side of that bay. His place of abode was recorded variably as being on the North Shore, Admiral's Cove, or Freshwater. While it cannot be proven that William Grant's "Island Cove" was the area just east of Admiral's Cove in Cape Broyle bay, it is quite possible. The absence of William Grant from any of the voter's list there could signify that he was living in the same dwelling as another eligible male head of household. A "non-eligible" voting restriction would apply to William if he was living in the household of his (possible) father-in-law, William Tucker. In 1871, Lovell's business directory lists two William Grants living in Cape Broyle Bay (location unspecified) and William Tucker's name is no longer mentioned in any documents.
