Yes, it had me until I found Elias baptism. He was s/o Elias & Sophia.

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.

You're not the first to find it so and won't be the last either!

Are you descended from this Elias Gray? I ask because -

According to Eric Trudgill there was an Elias born to William Gray in 1843 at Claxby Pluckacre Lincs. I haven't seen that baptism I'm afraid but he is a very well respected gypsy genealogist.
