Family search Charles Eustace Gray
« on: Saturday 30 May 20 23:15 BST (UK) »
Im currently piecing together a family tree on my fathers side. I have found a great great uncle Charles Eustace Gray who had a son Eustace Gray who lived in Australia, while looking through his will I found a paragraph discussing that if his son Burnett Gray should ever be traced then he should be given £100. Im really keen to trace this family member but don't know where to start! any help would be very much accepted  :)

Hello Gray, welcome to Rootschat  :D

Some more information would be of assistance here.  You mention no dates at all and it is not clear whose will you are referring to.

Who is Burnett's father, Charles or Eustace? 

You do mention that Eustace lived in Australia.  Does that apply to Charles and Burnett as well?

When we have more information we will be better placed to help you.   :D

Couple of sightings of Nellie Maisie in north London in the 1930s, but not with Charles Eustace

Possible outward trip to Auckland in 1926 of Eustace, 49 (journalist) and Nellie, 44

There are two potential return journeys by Nellie M. unaccompanied, in 1929 and 1935. the second matches her reappearance in electoral registers in 1936
