George Gray married Priscilla ?
« on: Wednesday 20 September 06 23:38 BST (UK) »

I wonder if anyone can help me to find 3 x great grandparets
marriage.
In 1841 census living at Water house Limpley Stoke
George Gray age 60
Priscilla wife age 60
Rebecca Gray age 40 daughter.

In 1851 census
Living in Bradford-on-Avon as a (lockgate keeper)
Priscilla Gray widow age 76 born Seend Cleeve Wilts
Rebecca Gray age 53 daughter

I do know that Priscilla & George Gray
Had other children christened at Murhill Winsley
Isaac Gray chr 17 Feb 1805
Eliza Gray chr 20 April 1807
Virtue Gray chr 9 July 1809
Harriet Gray chr 22 July 1817
George Gray chr 6 June 1819

I know what happened to Isaac Gray he married Charlotte Munday 6 th March 1828 Bathford Bath
Also found his children.
The strange thing is Isaac Gray birth place has been put down at two different places Winsley and in the 1881 census West Lavington where he is found living with his daughter Harriet Brown and her family.
I have been stuck at the brickwall for ages now and connot seems to find his parents Marriage.
Their first daughter Rebecca Gray was born Winterbourne (e)
which I think maybe Winterborne Earl.
If anyone can help me I would be thrilled to bits.
Kind regards Chris.

Hi Brian
Oh my goodness! thank you so much for finding out about their deaths.
How did you find this?
I will send for their death certificates and fingers crossed it may tell me more.
Are you related to the Gray family?
Or do you just like helping folks to find their family?
Thank you so much.
Kind regards Christine

Hi Brian
I see that you have a Thomas surname too!
My Mother was a Thomas from Chippenham Wilts.
We often wondered if the Thomas family came from Wales!
Thank you so much for your help you are very kind.
Regards Christine
