Has anyone ever come across this name by chance?

I checked the BMDs on ScotlandsPeople, but not the OPRs or census, without any luck.

Have you tried http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/

If you try it without the e you get some results but nothing at SP.

Thought I'd try Grow

I checked the U.S. and Canada telephone books and there were no listings.

The Canadian directory came close with Greaux or Graux but there was only one listing for each.

Had a second thought, and realised Québec has its own telephone system, so I checked and again there were listings for Graux, but no Grauxe.

I even checked a directory of historical French Canadian names and found Graux only.

Hello all,

The names Graux and Greaux crop up on FreeBMD http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl about 15 times ranging from 1840s to 1920s mainly in the London area.

I don’t know what name they’re hiding under in the census.
