Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 3,595 Send Message	I'm not sure but I have an exact date of 22/08/1910. Maybe its because sometimes he spells his name with an E and sometimes with an A (Gray that is) Jane

Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 3,595 Send Message	He was an AG lab and he was married to someone called Alice. It seems as if I've got myself in a pickle with this family. Thanks for trying to help me. Jane

	this is the only James Gray with wife Alice in the Glandford Brigg area in 1891 Name: James Gray Age: 32 Estimated birth year: abt 1859 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Alice Maria Gray Gender: Male Where born: Rawcliffe, Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Bromby Ecclesiastical parish: Bottesford Town: Ashley County/Island: Lincolnshire Country: England Registration district: Glanford Brigg Sub-registration district: Winterton James Gray 32 Alice Maria Gray 32 John William Gray 11 Elizabeth Elwitt Gray 9 Hannah Jane Gray 4 Mary E Gray 7/12 Charles T D Maull 3 he's NOT an Ag Lab anyway, I have to say, that it is not very likely that an Ag Lab would have a will. What would he have to leave? and how would he have been able to afford a solicitor or lawyer? Did you look on ancestry, and see if there was a James Gray/Grey listed under probate at an appropriate year? sylvia
	Researching: My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

	The family that Sylvia has posted is the only one I could find also including the 1911 census. As she says he was not an ag lab, iron stone miner I think. There are none listed under Probate.
