Marcus Report 14 Apr 2020 18:58

Trying to find a James Grigson (or Gregson?) b1825 in the St Pancras area of London.
I have him on 1841 - 1901 just before he dies in 1904.

Just cannot find him or his family in 1891.

He marries Jane Willington in 1852 at St. Leonards, Shoreditch.

Janes dies at some point between 1871 & 1881.
In 1871 & 1881 he is in Islington, London. By 1901 Cardiff, Wales.

I just cannot find him anywhere in1891 !!

Can any please help??

This looks like him, with his son Thomas.

It's been badly mistranscribed on Ancestry.
The info for Kate Gurney has been ascribed to James, and vice versa.
