Stephen thomas james Bray
« on: Monday 13 August 18 19:28 BST (UK) »
Stephen Thomas James Bray born England died Moscow around 1918.  His daughter Olga Bray was my grandmother.  I was able to fine the name of her father from her marriage certificate but do not know the name of her mother.  She married a Harry Yates, born Wentworth, Canada, at The British Church of St  Andrews, Moscow.  I have no idea how Harry got to Russia or what he did.  Olga died 1959 in Birmingham.  My parents divorced and just researching my Russian relatives.  My father Stephen was born in Leicester - his parents married 26th Jan 1909 and he was born 24th December 1909.
Look forward to hearing anyone.
Denise

Does anyone know the last name of Maria Bray - I mean her maiden name.  The info is so helpful as now know when he actually died.  I have his parents and his brothers and their name of who they married.  I understand had Olga had at least two sisters - I can remember my mother say she had met them - I believe one them was named Maria.
Thank everyone for your quick replies and all so helpful.

Harry Yates was an engineer and at one time he owned, I believe, a ball bearing factory.  I believe someone in the Bray family owned a fur business.  Harry could have been working for Stephen Thomas James Bray.
