As regards Stephen Bray; my family tree indicates that his siblings were Alfred, Alexander, Henry and Harriet. Their parents were William (Bill) Bray (born 1833) and Ann Webb. Bill was the oldest child of William Bray (born 1812) and his first wife Harriet Pudney, with whom he had seven children. Harriet passed away in 1854 and he re-married, to Sarah Ann Wingel, by whom he had another six children and adopted her child (also William). No wonder he died broke! My great grandfather was the second child of his second family and there wasn't a lot of contact between them after William (1812) died. I do know Bill (1833) was in Russia most of his life, and invited my great-grandfather Walter (his half-brother) to join him there around 1880. Walter's descendants are also numerous, but all left Russia after the 1917 revolution.
If you are Stephen Bray's grandchild, we are fourth cousins.
