Gregory family

[Kiwi Lass]

Hello, John Gregory was born at Glouester England on 24th April 1848
Eliza Underhill was born at Difford Worcestershire England 22nd August 1849

The first child born Louisa December 1871, George was born June 1873.

I think they came out to NZ with the parents, other children born in NZ

John and Eliza married church of St Paul, Balsall Heath, Birmingham on the 22nd of January 1871

They arrived in NZ 23rd July 1874 aboard the Miltiades.

This looks the best match for John on the 1851 census:

HO107; Piece 2044; Folio 33; Page 4 - Village, Hinton on the Green, Gloucestershire

Emmanuel GREGORY  Son  5  Scholar  b. Hinton, Gloucestershire
John GREGORY  Son  2  Scholar  b. Hinton, Gloucestershire

Have you got the marriage certificate?     this will tell you the names and occupations of the fathers, and will help to try and pin them down.

Also what witnesses on the marriage cert?

This looks like the reference for John's birth registration, with a spelling variation for his surname:

Births Jun 1848
GRAGROY  John
Evesham 18 391

Evesham registration district covers Hinton on the Green - Emmanuel and Sarah were both registered in the same district under the surname GREGORY.

Hi Marie, Thanks for that.

John occupation was a Groom, and Eliza ( Underhill) was born in Difford Worcestershire, her father was a railway Porter.

I find Ann with 3 different Surnames strange.

My they had big families in those days.

Take Care Robyn.
