Gray family. Kinghorn, Aberdour, Burntisland
« on: Sunday 22 January 17 09:34 GMT (UK) »
In March 1841 when Robert Gray (a stoker) married Henrietta Paterson, he already had 3 daughters Janet c1830, Ann c1832 and Catherine c1835.
I cannot find any record of the births of these girls nor of a previous marriage.

Robert was born in Kinghorn 1794, Henrietta in Aberdour 1808 and they lived all their married lives in Burntisland.

Henrietta was also previously married in 1827 to John Dick, a cooper, and they had 5 children before John's death c1835. Again I can find no record of his death either.

Can anybody help please.
