Richard BRAY
« on: Thursday 16 February 12 21:17 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find the parents of Richard Bray who married Eliza Ann Crago on 24 Oct 1889 at Liskeard.
I thought they were Richard Bray who married  Mary ? Jane Ann Olven (from IGI records) in 1860  but now I'm not sure.
I then thought his parents were Samuel Bray who married mary Bennet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as a " newie "
I'm still struggling to find how to do a post.

Many Thanks

Many thanks, I'm trying to locate who the father of  Richard Bray, also called Richard Bray married.
He was the one referred to as "Labourer".

Many Thanks for your input.
We have been able to confirm that the parents of Richard Bray  (who married Eliza Ann Crago )
were RICHARD BRAY and MARY JANR OLVER --married Liskeard oct/nov/dec 1860.
His parents were SAMUEL BRAY and MARY BENNET--married Menheniot 27 July 1823.
His parents were ROBERT BRAY and CHRISTIAN BATTEN--married 11 May 1784 at Quethiock.
ROBERT BRAY was listed as a "sojourner "
Their burials were listed in Liskeard
1827 Robert aged 69
1828 Christian aged 78.
NOW TRYING TO FIND  WHO ROBERT BRAY'S PARENTS WERE.
I would appreciate any suggestions where to look now.
Many. Thanks
