William Grays children born in Whitburn 1870s
« on: Wednesday 23 August 06 11:12 BST (UK) »
Any Lookups please I need to find the births of these two people and their parents and where they lived and their childrens births

Reference for their marriage is on IGI M116921 1855-1875
Theymoved to Whitburn in West Lothian by 1972 their first child was born there in 1972.  They had twelve live children and I can only trace two at the moment John born 9th Oct 1872 in Whitburn West Lothian and James 4th May 1874 Whitburn West Lothian

Any help with the Grays would be appreciated.

Hi
We have Scottish Grays too but in the Dalkeith area if you happen to get back to there.  I assume you have checked the scotlandspeople website?   The Scottish marriage records are excellent so getting the certificate would be well worth while.  I assume you know the wife's name but you have not posted it.  Date is a bit out too!

Hello,

I am new to this site.  I just came across your post from a few years ago.  William and Margaret Gray (that I am related to) had Betsy Gray, Alexander Gray (Born 1878?), and James Gray.  They emigrated to America.

Perhaps you can tell me...the address last listed in Scotland for them is 101 E. Benhar Road, Whitburn, Linlithgow...Does this address still exist?  I have been told it was dug up for a quarry.

Quite a discussion about East Benhar here, I live not far away.
