William Hayden Gray.....

Post by AnnieMack » Fri Feb 17, 2006 11:50 pm

I have this name recurring through the various branches of my tree. I am particularly trying to find out about William Hayden Gray born in 1822 in Kilamarnock who was living in Alva at the birth of his son William Hadden Gray in 1855.

I also need details on Andrew Gray who was born about 1776 and is William's father. I know William was child 11 but have only managed to find 3 other siblings, all female.

Hope someone shares these Gray's and we can tie up some loose ends.

Hi Annie
Do you have the birth entry for the child William Hadden Gray in 1855? It should contain some information. What about the census - 51, 61 etc?

Is this your chap in the IGI extract?
WILLIAM HADDEN GRAY
Birth: 25 APR 1855 Alva, Stirling, Scotland
Parents:
Father: WILLIAM HADDEN GRAY
Mother: ELIZABETH POW

then it looks like they moved into Paisley...
Father: WILLIAM HAYDON GREY
Mother: ELIZABETH POW
1. JOHN GREY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 04 JAN 1858 High Church, Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland

Father: WILLIAM HEADON GRAY
Mother: ELIZABETH POW
2. ANNABELLA GRAY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Birth: 08 SEP 1861 High Church, Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland

...the 1861 could be interesting - you should catch them with all children mentioned above and maybe a few more, who knows?

Best wishes
Lesley
