« on: Sunday 23 August 15 15:35 BST (UK) »Hello PeggysmumI hope you can help me please. I am searching for Montague Gray(1880) married Alberta Bramley. for my nephew Adam who is his Gt.Grandson. we can find the marriage from 1913 Oct — Age: 33, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire.
This information maybe of no help to you and it also maybe just be a strange coincidence but - my great grandfather was known as Montague or Joseph Gray of a gypsy family. Sadly I know very little of him, as my mum has now passed away, but he was a wicker chair mender and had worked as a handy man at a Church in Melton Mowbray Leicestershire. My Grandfather was Montague Gray JR who was born in 1884, he married my Grandmother Alberta Bramley (none Gypsy) in 1913 and he died in 1950. My mum told me that her Grandfather died in Melton Mowbery Market and I guess that he would have been buried in that area. My Grandfather Monty had a number of brothers but I can only recall my mum telling me of the name - Claude. I have my Grandfathers and Mothers wedding certificate and it was witnessed by a Charles Gray and Catherine Gray. Catherine was unable to write her own name and so sighed with a cross as did Montague my Grandfather.
