1941/51 look up GRAY please
« on: Tuesday 28 June 05 10:34 BST (UK) »
Would someone please help me trace the GRAY family in 1941/51.  I have traced them in Kingswinford Staffordshire in in 1961 but need help pre 1961.  The 61 census gave birthplace in some instances as Gardley Gublin, Northamptonshire which I have since assumed to be Yardley Gobion. Gubbri, Northamptonshire is also used??

Head - William Gray b abt 1798 Gubbri? Northamptonshire
wife - Pamela b abt 1808 Grafton Regis, Northamptonshire
children:
Louisa - b abt 1837 Yardley Gobion, Northamptonshire
Emma (married Vine)- b abt 1837 Yardley Gobion, Northamptonshire
George - b abt 1840 Yardley Gobion, Northamptonshire
Alfred - b abt 1842 Yardley Gobion, Northamptonshire
Eli - b abt 1845 Yardley Gobion, Northamptonshire

I also suspect them to have another child Henry b abt 1838 in Yardley, Northamptonshire.

Many thanks

Dear Ruth

Thank you greatly for your help  ;)
It has also helped me make a definite connection of Henry to this family too.

Thanks again
