Canada Lookup Request / Re: ALBERT GRAY
« on: Tuesday 22 August 17 07:20 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone
I am related to the Wellcoat tree via John Robertson Wellcoat (1891) my grandfather, son of John Philp Wellcoat and Mary Bowman Robertson.
My mother Iris Brown Wellcoat (1925) was John's only child to Margaret Brown.

I don't have much on Albert Gray apart from knowing his children to Elizabeth Wellcoat were:
Dorothy Evelyn Gray married Louis Rojek
James Roland Gray married Stefania Duperon

any further information on Albert's parents, siblings would be great :

Thanks for the information. Your William Philp married Isabella Smith and I would love any further information you have on the Philp side. My Philp side goes to William 1777 who married Catherine Bell and although I have names I don't have accurate date of births, so anything you can help with would be great. I have a fair bit on the Wellcoat side and am obviously happy to fill in any gaps you may have.

[Hi lisa. I am related to the Wellcoat family and have info on Elizabeths side if you are interested

uote author=thegraylady link=topic=755753.msg6053386#msg6053386 date=1473769130]
Hi, I'm looking for any information on my great Uncle Albert Gray,(1888-1982) who moved to Canada around 1908-1912 from Kent. I know he married an Elizabeth Wellcoat in 1913 and died in Canada in 1982, but know very little of his life. I believe he was in the Royal Medical Corps in the War but know nothing after that.

Any help greatly appreciated!
Many thanks
Lisa

Wow, so much information in such a short space of time. That'll keep me busy for the day so thank you all very much for your contributions and time spent.
Just to avoid any duplication, I kept what I posted originally to just the Australian part, but I'll list here what I know about the family as a whole:

Parents
Joseph Wellcoat (1842-1887) and Helen Philp (1839 - 1887) died within a couple of months of each other in Kirkcaldy, Fife.

Children:
Joseph (1865 -1892) died in Scotland.
Robert (1867 - 1952) - the subject of my enquiry here.
John Philp (1868 -1948) died in Scotland
Helen (b. 1871) - no idea what happened to her yet.
Catherine Philp (1873 - 1873)
William Philp (1874 -1926) died in Scotland
Mary (1876 -1876)
James Armstrong (1877 - 1931) died in Battersea, London
Elizabeth and Janet (Jennie) - twins born 1878, both sent to Canada when they were 13 having been living in an orphanage. Elizabeth died in 1935 in New Hampshire, USA and Janet in 1962 in Brockville, Ontario, Canada.

Seems like the family fell apart on the death of their parents - James Armstrong was an "inmate" in the 1891 census and as stated the twins were living in an orphanage. I've not long started with this branch of the family, hence the need to finalise certain things but hopefully I will find all I need on scotlandspeople for most of the above. Edit, have amended above with findings.

Once more, thanks for all the information given. I'm now going to make myself a coffee and process it :)
Cheers
Stuart
