ANNE GRAY c1824 Waterstock and ELIZABETH GRAY c1841
« on: Saturday 12 February 11 02:09 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help me solve the mystery of the children of Richard Gray (born 1801 Wheatley) and his wife Elizabeth (unknown) who lived Wheatley/Waterstock/Waterperry area of Headington District.  He was a gardener.  Children Anne, Emma (c1820), George (1832) Frederick (1833) Jane (1837) and Elizabeth (c1838).  Mother died 20/12/1838 at Waterperry.  1841 census shows another child living with the family at Waterperry named Elizabeth Gray 6 months old shown as not born Oxon, by 1851 census she is a 9 yo pauper at the Headington Workhouse birth place unknown.  She cannot be Elizabeth snr.'s child, wondered if she might be illegitimate child of either Emma or Anne.  Anne is not living with the family in 1841, servant aged 15 to Forest family at Gravel Hill, Henley on Thames.  She goes on to marry George Beazley 1845 at Ickford, Bucks.  Cannot find any christening records for any of the children, ages come from census records.  Love to know where Elizabeth (1841) fits into the family and how she came to be abandoned.  Emma married a James Wharton 1854 Thame, Bucks.  Also christening records for Anne and/or any of the others.  Richard snr. went on to marry Elizabeth Wheeler of Enstone 1842 who is shown as around 20 years older than him.  3rd marriage Rebeccah Parker of Marsh Gibbon, Bucks who married as Rebecka Reeves (widow Thomas) at Waterperry 28/10/1854.  Interesting family this lot as Anne arrived in Victoria Aus as Angelina Beazley.
Thanks for any info on the Grays, Sue

Hi Steve,

Thanks for all that information, it was just what I needed.  I never know why Oxfordshire details are always hard to come by on igi and ancestry.  Oxfordshire is so hard to research from Australia.  It has always been someone on rootschat who has given me the missing records, I don't think I could have advanced so far if it was not for this site.   I had guessed Elizabeth had to be the illegitimate daughter of Emma.  Poor child, obviously Emma decided to abandon her so she could marry or simply could not afford to keep her.  I lose Emma on the 1851 census and then she reappears marrying in 1854.   Richard himself could not keep her either as he remarried 1842 and obviously the new wife was not interested.  Jane Wharton (nee Gray) herself ended up in Headington workhouse after the early death of her husband.  I would think that Elizabeth Wellstood is the correct marriage and will see what I can find on her.  Cuddesdon has been a popular spot for Beazley marriages.  Richard Grey snr and Mary Wakelin are the parents of Richard (1801).
Thanks for looking all those up for me,
Sue

Hi Sue,

Glad to have helped, but a lot of the credit must go to OxFHS.

Personally, I only use the IGI as a last resort, but I usually get a few results or clues with them.

I do purchase quite a few PR discs from around the country, where available.

But we have to use what's available to us, and RootsChat is a great place to visit.

Please ask for help again, when needed.
