Find Ancestors

Please can someone help me. I am trying to find out who John W E Gray married in the Sept quater 1916 in ? Glandford Brigg. I have a surname of Proctor but do not know their first name.

Thanks

Jane

Mary E Procter

Libby

There is also a marriage of a Lilly Proctor to a Mr Gray in the same yr/qtr at Cherlton (ref: 8a 1316)

Thank you both very much for your help. Now all I have to do is find a death for her between Sept 1916 and June 1924.

Thanks

Jane

Jane, just checked that one, It is Lilly Procter, not Proctor

The Lilly married Harold Gray.

Do you know how old she was when she died?

Libby

Hi Dee and Libby.

Lilly can't be my then. I thought JOhn W E Gray married a Poctor in Sept 1916 in Glandford Brigg.

Thanks for trying .

Could this be her birth?

The problem I have is I hav a John William Elwiss Gray born 1879 in New Holland, Lincolnshire. He married Sarah Niles in 1906. He had a son called James. NOt sure if they had any other children together. Sarah died in 1915 aged 34. Then the next marriage I know about was in 1924 to a Kate A Watson. Kate had been married before but I dont know who to.

From a newspaper article written at time of his death in 1943 it gave the following children.

Denis Gray a son.
Mrs Overton a daughter
RH Watson Stepson
Mrs Cowling a Daughter
Mr Eggitt son in law.
Mr P Cassidy Adopted son.

From this I am trying to get the christian names of the daughters. I have tried FreeBMD with out sucess. It seems all his children are married by 1943 except Denis.

I was also wondering if he married again between 1915 and 1924.

Thanks for your help

Gray Mary E Procter Glanford B. 7a 1368

Wonder if Mary the mother died in childbirth as the daughter Mary was registered the same month as the mother Mary died

Libby

Thanks Libby. Yes I think it probably was during childbirth.

All the best

Thats great Libby.

JohnWilliam E Gray died in Scunthorpe in 1943

Just looked at the newspaper article again. The name Hilda is there. Mr Eggitt was at the funeral but no mention of Hilda being there.

Thanks again Libby.
