Title: Wiltshire census, parish records - GREGORY
Post by: RachelLouise on Thursday 30 May 13 08:34 BST (UK)
Hi all.

I'm looking for the parents of George Gregory and was wondering if you could help me.

George was born in Melksham, Wiltshire in 1822. In 1847 he married Jane Webb (b.1827, Melksham) They went on to have numerous children:

Joanna b.1845 Melks
Gad b.1849 Melks
Tamar (female. no year of birth on 1951 census, doesn't appear on 1961 census)
Frances b.1851 Melks
George b.1853 Melks
Jethro b.1856 Melks (my great great grandad)
Noah b.1859 Melks
Israel b.1861 Melks
Asenath b.1863 Melks
Albert b.1868 Melks

George died in 1898 at 76 years old.

Has anyone got any information on this family please?
