Looking for Children of William Henry De Gray and Sarah Taylor
« on: Friday 27 February 15 22:23 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Have found a baptism for William Henry Degray and Harriet Degray on the 4th March 1857 at Oldbury, Worcestershire.  Would like to know if they had more children.  Looking in particular for Mercy born circa 1863.  Haven't had any luck so far.

Regards

In 1901 census with husband Isaac Mason and says she was born circa 1863  and daughter Phillis age 16 and other children.  Have spoken to relatives and have all said she was called Mercy De Grey.  Have never been able to find anything to confirm.  Mercy De Grey was my Great Aunt Maud's grandmother.  She said I think she a brother William Degrey

No, the marriage only close to Phillis Birth of 1884.  I know she was the eldest is to a James Isaac Mason and a Mercy Hadley. I don't know whether in later census records he just used Isaac.  I have found a Sarah Degrey marriage to David Hadley on the genealogy site don't know if it is linked yet. I think I will need to send for Phillis birth certificate to confirm parents. I know Phillis Mason married Benjamin Tallett in 1903 West Bromwich

So you think this marriage:

Marriages Dec 1883
HADLEY    Mercy        W.Bromwich    6b   1219   
MASON    James        West Bromwich    6b   1219

I agree that certificates would help

1861 census it is showing a Sarah Hadley mother  born Oldbury with a William De grey  born 1847 and Harriot De Grey born 1847.  Found they were both baptised 1857 saying father's name William Henry De Grey.  Would like to find the family in 1871 census to see if Mercy appears

Many Thanks

Thank-you, so this census:
1861 England Census
Civil Parish:   Oldbury  Ecclesiastical parish:   Langley  County/Island:   Worcestershire
Registration district:   West Bromwich  Sub-registration district:   Oldbury
David Hadley   30  Halesowen
Sarah Hadley   30  Oldbury
William Degray   14  stepson  Oldbury
Harriot Degray   12   step dau  Oldbury
Thomas Hadley   6  Oldbury
Aaron Hadley   7/12   Oldbury

If Mercy born 1863 then she would be a Hadley not a de Gray
