Fife / Robert Gray b.1671 and Janet Gray b.1675
« on: Monday 25 February 13 16:24 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

These were two children of Jon Gray and Jean Ramsay both christened in Wemyss.  Does anyone have a record of this family.

Specifically what happened to Robert Gray b.1671.  Did he attend Glasgow University and eventually become a Presbyterian Minister?

Any help in confirming or eliminating would be useful.

Kind regards,

Lanarkshire / Rev. Robert Gray, licensed in the Presbytery of Hamilton 1700

Hi,

Robert Gray attended Glasgow University in 1694, in the Fasti he is recorded as licensed in the Presbytery of Hamilton on 20 June 1700 and was ordained and appointed Minster of Nesting (Shetland) on 29th July 1703. He married Margaret Sinclair and is the ancestor of many Shetlanders. The problem is that we don't know when/where he was born or who is parents were.

1.  Would the Presbytery of Hamilton have records to show who his parents were?

2.  If so, where would I be able to locate them?

Kind regards,
John Robertson
