Hi Ken, sorry don't have a connection to William Smith Wray - well not found one as yet.  I believe that Wray is quite a common Yorkshire surname and there were lots of unrelated Wray families residing in Hull during the 19th & 20th centuries.

William Stephenson - born 1814 at Doncaster West Yorkshire - married Mary Scott at Cottingham East Yorkshire (Hull) in 1838. Williams parents I believe were another Wm Stephenson and an Alice Carter - married Cantley Parish W Yorks (Doncaster) in 1811..... Other east riding names are Nicholls (Bridlington, Yorks and Wigan Lancs.) and the surname Withernwick.
