There is someone who has Mary born Wolsingham 1932 and Alfred 1922 (which is wrong) and also Sarah Pusey 1890 in her tree name of Helen...might be worth trying to contact her, if you hav'nt already

i think the death records for william george gregory living in durham is the right one, i have sent messages to people that have willaim george on their tree but with not much luck, i have had a bit of luck with alfred gregory but the thread also has dried up. i would love to know when sarah died because i'm pretty sure she may of been alive in 1940 when my grandfather william andrew got married, but it is a long shot, cos at the time i really didn't pay much attention to what may gran was saying as i was a teenager, once again may thanks silv.
p.s is it possible to trace the daughter born about 1932. many thanks silv

Do you have contact with any of the people that have William in their tree, as I mentioned before?

Or do you think the death I gave you for William in Durham could be him?

thankyou again for all your help, in 1911 sarah was living with her widowed father, so after 1911 i don't know what happened to william george except that in 1918 his first wife dies in yorkshire, and by 1920 he is remarried and has a second son. i do know that his son from his first marriage is sent to militry school, but still have no idea why, or who made the referral. many thanks again silv

The Sarah mentioned is William George's 2nd wife before they married on the 1911

If that is his son's birth and death that rootgatherer has given you the birth of a daughter in 1932 could be theirs .

i'm pretty sure that william g gregory as mentioned above is the right one. is there any info on the daughter that was born in 1932. i didn't know he was alive when my grandfather willaim andrew got married in 1940 and according to his marriage cert he is listed as george. many thanks for your help silv

jax Report 14 Oct 2011 19:12

The fathers name on the marriage cert is given by the person getting married i.e your grandfather, so he could say whatever name he knew his father as or make one up completly if he wanted.

Unless his 2nd wife had been married before there is no other birth that I can see for a Gregory and a Pus*

i didn't know about a daughter,but is possible, i know that william george had a son by his second wife, and he was called alfred, i orginally thought that william george was called george because on his son's marriage cert his father is listed as george, the son was called william andrew and he was my grandfether. is there any info on the daughter from the second marriage. many thanks silv
