Gray Family Southill (Stanford/Broom etc)

Hello
I have a connection with Mary Jane Gray.
My Father's, Father , Father  was Alfred Gray Born 1869, Brother to Mary Jane. He married Margaret (nee Wiffin), they moved away from Southill and eventually settled in Norfolk.
Thanks to "Bedfordshireboy's" help I have been able to trace my ancstory back to Daniel Gray born 1682.

Thanks John, I missed your reply first time round. Must have a closer look at the Wilstead branch as so far it's speculative that  there's a Southill link

And Terry, good to see you around

Regards to all

We did know about Alfred GRAY's wife Margaret WIFFIN (Maggie), but not any decendents. We would be pleased to fill in some blanks.

Good evening
I have been trying to find out where I had seen the removal order for Joseph Gray and wife Mary. It was on the Bedfordshire archives site.
 P38 CARDINGTON PARISH RECORDSP38/13/3/11 Jos. Gray, w. Mary, chn. Loui., Eliza, Ann, Lucy, Amelia, from Wilstead... 1813

Eliza was my gg grandmother

That particular Removal Order has the settlement examination with it, which should give Joseph's life history (or very nearly!). Have you seen what it contains - it should with a bit of luck confirm that he was born in Southill.

At the moment we have no confirmation that this Joseph was the one baptised in Southill - the Wilstead marriage had him as otp, and the removal order moved him from Wilstead to Cardington, where he appeared in 1841 age 65. The ages and chronology work, but that's not proof.

Hi
Thank you for the download which added some information to my tree.  I am interested in Thomas Gray born 1857 who was married to Emma Goodship.  You have him as a widower at the time of the 1901 census.  Emma died in 1890.  She was my great aunt.  Do you have any further information on his descendants.
Regards
Pamela
