Robert Grey/Gray Death Look up in Wroxham? *COMPLETED*
« on: Tuesday 23 March 21 15:02 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I am trying to find the GRO entry of death for my Great x 3 Grandmothers first husband. I have found the burial record in the Select Deaths and Burials, 1538-1991 but I cannot find the GRO entry.

His name was Robert Grey or could be Gray (I have seen both!) and he was buried in Wroxham on the 3rd September 1893 and I have it that he was 61 at the time of his death.

I am trying to gather as much info as I can about him and my Great x 3 Grandmother as I am convinced she went on to commit bigamy. She never appeared to live with him after the marriage and she ended up marrying someone else before Robert’s death.

I have searched the GRO both on Ancestry and the GRO website and I have come up with nothing even whilst using a broad search. He lived in Wroxham his entire life.

Many thanks for your help 🙂
