Robt Geo Gray of Cockermouth
« on: Wednesday 02 July 08 02:40 BST (UK) »
I am interested in the family of Robert George Gray, born ca 1856 in Cockermouth.  While living in Gateshead, DUR in 1881 he married Eleanor Jane Pearson (born Felling, DUR) in Washington, DUR, her place of residence.  Robt & Eleanor lived briefly in Felling as 2 children were born there - Jessie Ada & John Wm.  Their remaining children were born in Cockermouth: George Pearson, Margaret Winifred, Florence Mary, Adam Edwin & James Sidney.  Robt Geo's occupation was Draper.

I am primarily interested in the children of this family.  I have found birth info in indexes, but would really like marriage info and children of the next generation.

My grandmother was a cousin of Eleanor Jane (Nellie) Pearson Gray.  I have a photo on the back of which is written "Mother, my son Donald and me".  I think this photo is of some part of this family as I have other info that suggests that they lived near Carlisle.

Hi Nutana,

I expect you have traced the family right through the census up to 1901?

Gray    Jessie Ada   and on same page

Robinson    Jonathan Jackson        

there is a birth registered Mar 1912 Cockermouth 10b   1212
Huddart    Edwin P    mothers maiden name Gray   
which may indicate that Jessie married Jos.James Huddart

Hi Barbara,
