Hello i am also your relation my family are thomas gray father of ossery who also had a son ossery then adolphus who had two wives both from lincolnshirethe first he followed to america and they came back together leaveing grays and her family out there and a brother who was sent to australia and died in a work house there. then he had a son bert who had a son clarence then my dad.

Hello! This is fascinating. So that mean that Your grandfather Clarence was cousins with my Grandfather Jim. Do you by chance know anyone who might have known my grandfather? I'm very keen to try and find someone who knew him before it's too late. I understand there was some kind of work related dispute between Jim and someone else which meant that Jim left his community of Norfolk for several years before returning in later life. I would really like to find out more about this and also what kind of work Jim, Baron, Adolphus and Ossery were doing. I know that they're all showmen.

I had heard of the American link before - do you know what they were doing out there?

Thanks for your reply.

Ben
