REAY, GLADDERS JAMES SON SINGLE M 23 COAL MINER LABOURER UNDERGROUND WHITE-LE HEAD DURHAM

Thanks , I will try that website. Thanks all for your time , much appreciated.

winnie Report 2 Jun 2009 20:38

Yes sorry , dont know why I put 1897 , I did mean 1887.
Witnesses were james garthford and sarah vickerstaff . They are not rellies as far as I know....but that doesn't say a lot. He married Margaret Stoker in the parish church in Tudhoe? in reg dist Auckland on 27.8 1917.
I was hoping someone might visit the church for me ,or do a search at the local records office as I am down in kent.

I receive their updates regularly. You are able to go in and search quite a lot without it costing anything, or very much.

jansmith Report 2 Jun 2009 07:11

1917-30 would be about 1887+/- not 1897+/-

What about witness names could they have been his rels?

winnie Report 1 Jun 2009 23:24

James was my maternal grandfather , but died when my mum was very young so she can't remember much.

winnie

winnie Report 1 Jun 2009 23:22

One of these could well be him , there are so many james and john reays that it gets confusing . The olny concrete evidence i have is the marriage cert , giving james age as 30 , in 1917 , so that means he hust have been born in 1896/7. thanks for your help and if you find anything else I would be very grateful to you.
