Hello . Father was John G ( Possibly Gordon)dob 1860? Gray and Mother was Elizabeth Gray.dob 1866 ( nee Lowie possibly or similar). I do have some photos back in the uk of my ggm and ggf at my brother's home.My grandmother's siblings were , Lizzie, 1892?(herself) , John G, 1894?, Hilda Margaret 1895? and Mary 1896. There was a younger brother William , who trained as a chemist but died in his 30's from TB. Not sure of DOB for him.Then there was Frances the youngest child. Hilda ( Peggy) and Mary never married or had children (That i know of) If there is anything else I can help with please let me know and Thanks for getting in touch. My Grandmother outlived them all. I think it was about 1987 that she died.

My Maternal GM was Lizzie Gray the eldest of 6 children. There was Lizzie , Mary, Peggy ( Hilda Margaret). They were sent to London to work as servants for relatives of the Earl Of Strathmere. The family lived in Rowan Bank Cottage, Kemnay. Through their support they were able to help put their siblings through college. Their siblings were William ( who became a chemist but sadly died of tb when quite young), Gordon, who became a headmaster and Frances the youngest who became a teacher. We have the family bible and some old photograph albums of the family. The name Prendagast is mentioned if I remember correctly. I always remember being told that Granny's cousin was a Cardinal Gray and some mention of Wilfred Hyde-White (the actor) being related to Granny too. Rowan Bank was sold I thinK after the death of Mary.

Hello Steve, Wonderful to hear from you and what news you have too. As I only joined last this site yesterday I am still finding my way round. I am assuming that this counts as a second post? so just one to go before I can reply using the private message system. Thank you once again. Mary.

Dear Shorts, My Grandfather was William Dalton son of John Dalton at the same address as yours. Until today when I found roots chat all I knew was that he had one brother named Thomas who went to Brooklyn ,New York and that he had other brothers and sisters. Please get in touch asap. I am so pleased to have gleaned this information from this side of my family. He married an Elizabeth Gray in India and my Mother , Margaret was his eldest daughter and my Aunt Frances was her younger sister. My Mother married a John Thew and they had 6 children , John Patrick William , Francis Dominic, Robert George Michael, Mary Margaret Elizabeth(me) , Anthony Gerald and Sarah-Jane Catherine. Look forward to hearing from you.
