Have you tried the Isle of Wight records online? A wonderful site. It has some of the children's births. I just google 'isle of wight births' to find it. Margaret

Wendy Did you have the family on the 1841 census, because I found these which seems to be the same lot as we've found in 1851/61. They may not be the right ones. Catherine Gray Age: 28 Estimated birth year: abt 1813 Gender: Female Where born: Hampshire, England Civil parish: Newport Hundred: West Medina Liberty County/Island: Hampshire Country: England Street address: Occupation: View image Registration district: Isle of Wight Sub-registration district: Newport Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Catherine Gray 28 George Gray 8 Mo Jane Gray 6 Thomas Gray 36 Thomas Gray 3 This Thomas is a painter, same as the 1851 one I found.

Is this him in 1851? Thomas Grey Age: 44 Estimated birth year: abt 1807 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Catherine Gender: Male Where born: Isle of Wight, Carisbrooke Civil parish: Carisbrooke Ecclesiastical parish: Carisbrooke County/Island: Hampshire Country: England Registration district: Isle Of Wight Sub-registration district: Newport ED, institution, or vessel: 3a Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 37 Household Members: Name Age Catherine Grey 38 Emma Grey 3 Henry Grey 9 Mo Jane Grey 14 Thomas Grey 44 William Grey 5 James Rowden 60 Thomas is a journeyman painter. This Catherine is probably a second wife, as there is a big gap between children Jane & William. The image does look like an 'a' rather than an 'e'. Angela
