No problem...don't forget to check Gray too and that the ages people gave at census time were not always accurate!!

I've a few g/yards photographed as you will see on IGI but normally I don't read most of them just snap away so not sure what is there!! Hope you find something there...

My Gray's are from this line.  My grandmother is Hannah Gray daughter of Samual and Agnes.  I do have some information to the Yates family. My dad's aunt married a Yates. From what I heard they owned a newspaper and moved to New Jersey.  I also have pictures of Hannah and her 2 sisters.  Let me know if you want more information.  Other Grays and Yates from this line I would love tohear from you as I have been looking for a long time and only now just found Samual Gray my great grandfather.

Hello. While updating my familytree information I have just come across your posting. Your forebears Samuel and Agnes Gray are listed on my tree. My maternal great grandfather was John Gray a brother of Samuel, who married Margaret Hawthorne. Strangely I notice another branch married a Yeates connection who moved to Scarva, County Down, where my father John Patton was born.

On Grays I have just this tiny bit:

Mr. Gray married Margaret (b. 1826, died 27 August 1898 at Longfield, Co. Monaghan).

Mr. Gray and Margaret had Mary Jane Gray (I have that she too die din 1898, so perhaps only one of them died on this date.)  Mary Jane Gray married George Harrison (1856-1887) of Drumakill, Co. Monaghan.  George was the son of Hugh Harrison (died about 1859) and his second wife, Anne Hale.

Late to the party but I also want some more info on the Grays if anyone made any progress.

I am related to George, Maisie, Essie, Tommy and Catherine Gray who were siblings born around 1920-30. George, Essie and Tommy all lived and died in Lismacreark with no children.

Don't know who their parents are.
