Hi Jerseylily
What would I do without you and your research for me. You have been so very helpful to me in my searching.
I had found James and Elizabeth Le Ray and followed up with their son George 1826 as my ancestor. He had an interesting career. Was a Naval Instructor on the 91 gun battleship Victor Emmanuel and his daughter Mary married a Surgeon, Joseph Anderson, trained in Scotland and went to live in Preston, Lancashire. Mary studied music and their son went to Boarding School at the age of 12. That son then was honoured in the Navy in the 1900's. George lived with them in his retirement. This George was married to Mary De St Croix. But then I found out I was looking for a Peter and and instead of the father being James 1787, it now went to his brother George 1789. It all became a little confusing. But with your help I do not feel like it is a hopeless case. In fact I am very enthusiastic about this new "hobby".
Have a great day.
