Disappearing relative

[Vicarcoggeshall]

Yes Alfred was in Peckham, variously 8 Devonshire Steeet with In laws or Old Kent road (701 if I remember rightly)

[Vicarcoggeshall]

Where do you find the 1923 record?

[jonw65]

All from London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965, on ancestry.

[Vicarcoggeshall]

Ok thanks I will have a look.

Henry Gray still with George & Emily Cross

873 NM - aGray Henry

NM   Naval or military voter
a   Absent voter (serving in the armed forces)

I’m not sure of the connection with the Cross family yet, maybe none but they too were from Bath.

For info. 

George Henry CROSS married Emily Sarah PALMER age 27 on 2 Jun 1900 All Saints Weston, her father William PALMER, Emily was baptised at the same church on 27 Oct 1872 parents William PALMER & Sarah (nee WATTS) they married 22 Feb 1852

Thanks, I can’t see a link between the Gray’s and the Crosses but I think there must be one. Emily registered Edward Gray’s death. I think Henry may have died in 1925 in Lewisham and I have just ordered that death certificate.

[Vicarcoggeshall]

If it’s him it brings my family tree to its conclusion, I will be quite sad!

Death
March 1925 Lewisham 1d 1193
Gray, Henry   
age 40

Burial of Henry Gray at Brockley Cemetery, 23 January 1925
14 others in grave
(Deceased Online, I don't have more details)

Henry Gray and Ellen Blanche Gray at 110 Mount Pleasant Road, Lewisham, from 1918 onwards
Electoral register compiled 1925 has Ellen Gray there, but not Henry.

Marriage at St Peter Deptford (Brockley), 25 Dec 1915
Henry Gray, 31, Examiner W. Arsenal, father James Gray, Law Writer
+
Ellen Blanche Andrews, 30

So age on marriage a good match for that 1925 death in Lewisham. Might be that chap, might not!

[Vicarcoggeshall]

Ah, then it’s not my Henry, I had checked this marriage out previously but it’s not him. Ok well then now I am lost asi have no ideas at all.
