Sorry to bother you all again, but I am asking for help again. I have desperately been looking for my G Grandad George Henry Grayson in 1891(on a previous thread) and after much help from people on here I have decided i'm just never going to find him. So I moved up a generation and now I can't find his mum in 1901. So if anyone is kind enough to have a look with a fresh pair of eyes I would really appreciate it. Her name was Sarah Thompson and she was married to George. They should be in York. As far as I know they never left. She was born in York in 1857 and he in York in 1861. I am also looking for John Frederick Grayson in 1901. He was born in York in 1886. I hope someone is able to shed some light on this as it is driving me mad. Many Thanks Dawn

Hi Reg This is the family in 1891 before John dies and Sarah remarried the lodger George Thompson in 1892. I am under the impression that they went on to have two children called George and Annie but i'm not sure when. Finding them in 1901 would be a start. Dawn

Hi Glitter baby - hope you are well (we met last year on the gaynor bear rally) Yes I have got that one thank you. Mary Ann was the sister that moved to New Zealand in 1910 and some kind people on here have been helping me with. I would love to know where her mum Sarah is, it is driving me mad!! She lived in York all her life and died there in 1946 aged 90, so she must be there somewhere in 1901!! Thanks Dawn
