With ref. to info about Robert Gray (parents John and Annie) being brought up by his aunty Ethel, this looks to be relevant:-

Thank you so much Catherine for all your help. I had found that marriage and also one to a Anne Glover/Gover I was just trying to decide between them. It looks as if you are right as I cant find a Robert Gray with a mothers surname of Glover/Gover.

Thanks again

Update

I went to the library to have a look at the other persons tree on Ancestry and it appears that the family we have been following on this thread is the wrong one.

It is a coincidence that two John Grays married two ladies called Alice in Sculcoates the same year. Mine is John Gray and Alice Huxley marriage ref 9b 261. I am going to send for the marriage cert to confirm this.

On checking the 1901 census I found a John gray born Burton Pidsea abt 1876 , living in Sculcoates with Alice born 1877 from Liverpool. Burton Pidsea is just outside Patrington where John's birth was registered.

1911 census

John Gray b 1876 in Burton Pidsea was a border at 44 Derby St Wellington lane, Beverley Road Hull. Unfortunately I cant find Alice. I ran out of time to make a note of the other details but I believe the census said he had been married 10yrs which would be correct. If this is so then Alice is probably a live somewhere.

Please can someone see if they had any children. I forgot to look. This info might help me track her down.

Thanks for your help

Thanks Chris

I have just been looking on Familysearch 1911 still cant find her. I have found two deaths in Beverley Yorkshire but both ages are slightly out.
Deaths:
Alice Gray 1902 reg in Beverley age 21 and 1907 reg in Beverley age 36. If she was born about 1877 then she would be 25yrs in 1902 and 30yrs in 1907.

Jane

Thanks for that update Chris
So I can say she was probably a live in 1911 as I believe it should have said he was a widow.
Jane

I have to go to work now. I will look in when I get home.

thanks for helping me

I am looking for John and Alice Gray who were living in Lincoln in 1901. John was born 1874 in Lincolnshire and alice was born in 1883 in Liverpool.

I am interested in finding the names of their children and if any had died.

***********************************************************************************************

From your opening post above, but how do you know of John?...

Who are the Parents you are working are back from, it's getting confusing!.

John's parents are John Gray b1850 Winterton and Jane Ann Crawforth b c1854 Easington lincs.


The tree looks like this:

John Gray and Jane Crawforth (Parents)

John Gray and Alice Huxley (the family I am looking into at the moment).

All the best

Chris :)

Not sure if you checked 'Search All Member Trees' (top right of page here, under 'Search') both Births above, are shared by other Genes Members, perhaps they might have more info. regarding Alice 1911, or any children.

Thanks Chris for all your help

I will check the other members trees and see if I can contact them. As you say they may have more info on this family.

All the best

Jane
