Regarding the Royal Victoria Hospital (South Stoneham, Southampton) 1901 George Gregson entry mentioned by OP, can I suggest it MAY be this chap....

UK, WWI, British Army Medal Roll Index Cards, 1914-1920


Full Name
Gregson, George
Regiment
Royal Army Medical Corps
Regiment Number
25300
Conflict Period
World War I

Which means he couldn't be 45445 Royal Defence Corps George Gregson aged 49

Just to clarify what I know -

3 x great Grand father - Thomas William Grigson 1796 - 1880 marrries twice

1st wife Mary Ann Hawkes - this is the line I am currently asking about !!

2nd wife Phobe Wilington (My 3 x Great Grandmother !)


Thomas & Mary had 4 children that I know of -
Frances, Adolphus, James & Joseph.

Adolphus b1822 Brackley, Northampton, d1900 Lewisham.
He marries Catherine Burke b1833 Chatham, Kent, d 1923 Camberwell.

They have 7 children 2 of which are Willington George Grigson (Person of this thread) & Frank, whose son is also called Wellington Grigson 1903 - 1988 !!

Both these brothers marry women with same surname of Gardner - relation of these women to each other, not yet established. Another day perhaps !

So,

Father - Thomas & Mary Grigson,

Son - Adolphus Grigson & Catherine

Grandson - Willington/Wellington George Grigson who married Sarah Laura Gardner.

Hope this clarifies family relation as to who's who !!!
