Full age = 21
Wray/Rea - not a name change, more likely just a different spelling.

if i may present facts as i understand them and welcome any tidbit :)
-Hamilton W and Margaret  Malliagh marry 1877  my gran referenced M. Malliaugh as her Gran
document 2- My Gran's parents    Sarah Ann Rea mentioned is Hamilton Rea's(grooms) sister
document 3- my Gran's brother Hamilton's service record.

i feel there is a disconnect somewhere other than the names.

if i am overstepping the boundaries of questions, please let me know
