The Common Room / Re: People with the surname Seagray

Thanks, all your replies are interesting. With all the different variants of the name it is going to take time to search. A decedent thinks there is a Portuguese connection.

The Common Room / People with the surname Seagray
« on: Friday 15 November 24 10:49 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I have a odd surname of Seagray on my tree. The person is Dorothy May Seagray b. abt. 1896. She was married to James Stevely Taylor in Durban, South Africa. They lived in Durban and had their children there.
That is all I know about her.
Has anyone else come across this surname and does anyone know where it originates form?
I have looked for death notices for this surname in South Africa and found nothing. So I am at a loss where to look now.

Hi Colin. Yes I have Archibald's death record. And have his parents. Its his wife that has been a problem. Catherine must of died some where after the last child in 1838 and before 1857. Since Archibald was a widower and his sister-in-law was present at his death. She lived with Archibald and the children.
I also have tried to find Catherine's death info with out success.
So I thought I will try and find Catherine's sister, Margaret Sinclair. According to the 1881 English census birth date is 1808 Scotland. No place name. She went to say with her Grand niece after Archibald died. She stayed with Susan at Limehouse, London, England. She died in 1900 at the age of 91 in West Ham, Essex. All I have is the transcript not the actual record. If I can find that maybe it will have her and Catherine's parents names on it.  Also Margaret never married.

Looking for a marriage record for Archibald Taylor  b. 1795 and Catherine Sinclair b.abt.1801. I have the banns record which I found on "Find my Past" 26 Feb 1825 in Ardrosson. I cannot find the actual marriage record were they give more info, like the name of the fathers, age, address ext.

Unless that record did not exist  in 1825?

Thanks

His death date has been a problem, I found a grave for a Robert Patterson as follows
Robert Patterson
Death • Find a Grave Index
Name   Robert Patterson
Death Date   11 Dec 1944
Event Type   Burial
Event Place   Thanbyuzayat, Mawlamyine District, Mon State, Myanmar
Cemetery   Thanbyuzayat War Cemetery
Photograph Included   Y
"Find a Grave Index," database, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QVKR-6VWX : 7 March 2024), Robert Patterson, ; Burial, Thanbyuzayat, Mawlamyine District, Mon State, Myanmar, Thanbyuzayat War Cemetery; citing record ID 56175835, Find a Grave, http://www.findagrave.com.

The age on the grave is 43 which does not work out with his birth date. Causing confusion. Secondly there is another Robert Patterson also born in Paisley with a birth date 29 Oct 1908. Are these two the same person ? has a mistake been made ?  My Robert was differently born 29 Oct 1909 from his birth record.
