Mr Gray's Academy London 1842

[Ruskie]

I had a look at a couple of old maps - found Great Smith St but Mr Gray's Academy was not named.

One "T. Gray", of Great Smith Street, subscribed to the Art Union of London for the year 1851.

Thank you all for your help to date.
John Simmons mother Mary Simmons (nee Wells) died 24/01/1871 Eccleston Square London.
Our records indicate she was buried at Norwood cemetery.
I assume Norwood translates to the North wood.
Can anyone shed some light on a Norwood cemetery close to the Westminster area and would there be plot records or such.
John Simmons father James Simmons died circa 1848 in London and there is a possibility they may both be buried in Norwood Cemetery

Many thanks in anticipation.

Not close to Westminster, rather an out of town cemetery:
