Gray Family - Ann Forrest/Gray
« Reply #18 on: Wednesday 20 April 11 03:48 BST (UK) »
Hello An65,

I have been reading your posts and think we may be distantly related. My Great grandmother was Ann "Nan" Gray(nee Forrest) who died in 1978. My Grandmother was Edna Gray her daughter. I have just started researching the family and have come across all the work you have done. I have tried to follow the link to your website but cannot get on has it changed? I am very interested in any information you may have on the family. My mother may have some photos of the family which may be of interest.

oh yes I think you are right and we are related :)
My website was taken down when geocities (the host) closed a few years ago.
You have only made one post here, once you have made four we can message privately and will be able to swap email addresses. Please dont put your email here on the open site.
If you can just post three more times (doesnt matter what subject) we can chat. Its a wierd situation but its just the way it is.
Best Wishes Ann

Great to hear from you Ann, thanks for letting me know about the posts.  I am new to all this and only came across this site by accident. Will do some more posts, as I would be very excited to learn more about your research on the family.

Hi all

I am also new to RootsChat. I am doing some research into my boyfriends family history (Ben Gray) and learnt form An65 that I must post three times to get to personal message people. So I am going to post more now...

Basically so far we have discovered that Ben's great grandfather was Barrant (Baron) Gray, who was the son of Adolphus (Orsary, Ossory, Thomas). That's where we get stuck.

time for post no. 3...

Ben would really love to see any photos etc of ancestors, as well as any help getting further back

Many thanks
