Really so was he any relation to William Gray ? And Bethany James mobbs or am I on a completely different line ?
Well in theory all lines converge in East Anglia so they are probably all related but I haven't found a def link yet.
Elias Gray appears on census repeatedly stating he was born circa 1843/4 Abbotts Ripton.
Golias Gray was bapt 3.1.1843 at Abbotts Ripton s/o Elias & Sophia Gipsey.
Before you think the names wrong its worth noting that Elias Boss s/o Riley Boss was bapt at Sudbourne in 1826 as Golias, so the names seem interchangeable.
