	Christopher Orrey and family from 1851 in 1841, is probably Orrey on image: 1841 England Census Christopher Ovney Age: 40 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1801 Gender: Male Where born: Lincolnshire, England Civil parish: Boston Hundred: Boston County/Island: Lincolnshire Country: England Registration district: Boston Sub-registration district: Boston Piece: 613 Book: 5 Folio: 14 Page Number: 20 Christopher Ovney 40 Sarah Ovney 40 John Ovney 12 Henry Ovney 10 Charles Ovney 7 Joseph Ovney 3 Source Citation: Class: HO107; Piece: 613; Book: 5; Civil Parish: Boston; County: Lincolnshire; Enumeration District: 9; Folio: 14; Page: 20; Line: 17; GSU roll: 438755. You need birth certificates for Mother's maiden name, and marriage certificates for Fathers' names. Otherwise you are just guessing, and educated guesses do not count.

	You really do need to find James and Marys marriage so that you know his fathers name. Chris

	The spelling was frequently out as many of them were illiterate. You need as many birth and marriage certificates as you can get to help confirm. So you work back step by step using the certificates for information.

	If that was correct birth for James in 1847, Boston, then these could be siblings, but also having difficulty finding them in censuses: Births Dec 1845 Horrey Charles Boston 14 245 Births Dec 1846 Horrey James Boston 14 26_ Births Dec 1848 HORREY William Boston 14 238 Births Dec 1850 Horrey Maria Boston 14 269 1911 census says married 41 years............ Possibly under Orrey?

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 1,570 Send Message	Chrissie2394	Report	18 Feb 2012 22:05
	Looking at the original of the 1911 census and comparing the A in Watson to the A in Harry, I believe it should read Horry. Chris
