I have tried to gather info via family members still alive, but do not live close to them and have not had much success.
I was wondering if anyone recognized the attached photo of "CLerk Street". Apparently this is where the "Gay" family lived.
I would also love to gather more info on my mother-in-laws family.

If anyone out there knows of the Gay family, can do birth searches, a marriage search on Isabella and James - it would be greatly appreciated.
