Aberdeenshire / Re: Marble Quarry Grays (Portsoy)
« on: Monday 24 February 20 12:27 GMT (UK) »Hello,
My name is Jasmine born in Malaysia. My father is Barry son of Horace Gerald Gray who passed away in Kuching, Malaysia. He had the first radio shop in Kuching. Horace was married 3 times and my father was from his third and last marriage to Florence who is half Spanish, half Filipino. If I am not mistaken, my great grandfather was William George Gray who migrated to Malaysia and served as a headmaster at an all boys catholic school. He was the son of Alexander Gray from Portsoy and I believe he was a farmer.
This William George Gray does not tally with the William George Gray who was the son of Alexander Gray of Marble Quarry. He died at Mill of Park, Banffshire, in 1957.
Another of Alexander's relations did die in Singapore, in the quarantine hospital. He was a ship's captain and had caught smallpox. He was married but had no children.
There is at least one other Gray family from Portsoy but with no traced link to the Marble Quarry Grays. Maybe your ancestors came from them? So many used similar christian names.
I hope you do find your true tree.
