Travelling People / Re: Tansey/Tanzy
« on: Thursday 24 September 15 22:49 BST (UK)  »
Hi
Was researching on behalf of an elderly gentleman, so haven't looked at the family in a long time. However.  I think now that Begonia might not belong to Obadiah and Ada.  I have the christening records for: Lapolius Samuel Gray; Ivy Ellen Gray; Rosemary Constance Gray; Pansy Leonora Gray; Verdi Archer Gray (often known as Archie) Mareillie (Morelli) born circa 1904 is on the 1911 Census as 7 year old daughter of Obadiah and Ada. Also on the 1911 Census there is a daughter Joy aged 11 whom I can only think is Ivy Ellen.

Cheers
Gillian Allison

Hi Thanks for last reply to my query.  I had made a mistake as to Obadiah's mother's name on the 1881 census. Her name on this census is Jane, but I find her named Jenty on the 1871 census.

Re the baptism of Genty/Jenty Gray in 1835. I have accessed this through Family search. This states her baptismal date as
29 Nov 1835
BUTTERWICK HOLLAND,LINCOLN,ENGLAND.  Parents named here are Father: Dezrey Gray and Eliza Herring.  I found the family on the 1851 Cenus as Orsary Gray and Eliza. Jane (Jenty) and her brother Samuel are also on this census. Samuel is the one who apparently married Ellen Dianna Brown** and their child Ada (h) married her cousin Obadiah, Jenty's son.  All very confusing. Where do Edward and Rosa Lovell fit in?

**Sorry the surname was Brown not Gray

Please can anyone help me out with the Gray Family of Norfolk/Suffolk.

Obadiah Gray married Ada Gray (his cousin) in 1894 in Mitford. He appears to have already had two other children by Mary named Olby and Jane.

I have his mother named as Mary (a widow in 1881 census)

Children of Obadiah Gray and Ada Gray (who was 19 year's his junior) are:
Lapolius Samuel born 1895
Verdi Archer born 1896
Pansey Leonora born 1898
Ivy Ellen born 1900
Mareillie born 1904
Leonard Ozery born 1908
Stanley Joseph born 1909
Begonia born 1909
and perhapse Maurice Edward born 1918.

Any help appreciated.

Lancashire / Re: Elsie Whittam of Burnley ??? help please

Hi Lee
I have just received a Marriage certificate for Violet Whittam to Philip Hutchinson. Violet's father is named as Richard Whittam. I looked for the birth of a Violet Whittam and found a birth for 1916 whose mother's maiden name was Greenwood and I then found a marriage for a Mary Hannah Greenwood to Richard Whittam in 1907 and subsequently found the 1911 census as you had with Richard and Mary and a daughter Elsie in Burnley Lancashire.

I'm trying to find out more about Violet and Philip's children etc.  If your Grandfather was the same Richard Whittam then it would mean that your father would have been a half sister to Violet. Did he know her and her children?

Hope to hear from you.

Thanks

Gillian
