Find Ancestors

Hi Irene Still waiting for that elusive postman to deliver, (still it has been raining here). I'm hoping it will be here very soon. If there are any addresses I will add it to the message, so please keep checking if you have the time Many thanks Janice

Did you have an address on the marriage certificate - if you do I might be able to find them on the census for you. Irene

Hi Elaine Kerri has kindly replied, with even more baptisms for me Janice

Hi Irene I don't have internet access to 1841 census, will have to pay a visit to PRO, that will have to wait until I get more stuff to research though Thanks for your time Janice

I looked through 30 pages of St.Aubyn district of Stoke Damerel 1841 census returns and only one Gray, William. Have you trailed through all the pages of the census to find your gray family - it is worth a try. Irene

Kerri´s thread appears to be a recent one and she appears to be answering any queries left on the board. I know sometimes people prefer that queries be left on the board, rather than being sent by personal message. Nothing to lose - give her a try!

Oh dear to late SORRY

Hi Elaine STOP looking, Someone else told me about that thread & as it was a while back I've contacted them direct but as yet have had no reply. Hope you haven't spent to much time looking for it?

Thread nudged - Title - LOOKUPS OFFERED-Plymouth area.... Pre 1837 Parish Records - by Kerri Youg

There was someone on the boards recently offering Plymouth look ups. I am sure Stoke Damerel was included. Will see if I can find the thread.

Hi Nell Already contacted them, but they said a reply with estimate of the cost of prints will be within the next 28 days. Thought I would see if anyone here had access to parish records I don't to date have a connection with Stoke Newington but I will bear you in mind if I find one of mine there. Mine moved from Devonport to Deptford, (some were b Stafford) then ended up in Lambeth or Newington Southwark then Westminster London. Regards Janice

Janice You could try contacting the Devon Family history society - or its equivalent - to see if they have transcripts of marriages. I got a list of all the marriages in which a (admittedly) unusual surname featured as bride, groom or witness for Buckinghamshire for £2 of the local society. nell My maiden name is Gray - father born Stoke Newington and his father & 3 generations further back all from Norfolk. Don't suppose we are connected?!

Hi Nell Have tried there, they are only doing baptisms & burials (unless I'm doing something wrong) thanks for your time Janice

No sign of the children in Devon. There are Grays in Stoke Damerel but none matching your names. Regarding the marriage between Thomas & Jenny, I think if you google you might well find a Stoke Damerel online parish clerk who could help. nell

Hi all I’m looking for any info you can find on the following family Father: Thomas Gray date & place of birth unknown Mother: Jenny surname, date & place of birth unknown Children: John Gray b 10/08/1812 bap 18/10/1812 Stoke Damerel Thomas Richard Gray b abt 1814 bap 06/11/1814 Stoke Damerel Richard Blake Gray b abt 1817 bap 12/08/1817 Stoke Damerel Catherine Parkin Gray b abt 1817 bap 12/08/1817 Stoke Damerel I know that Richard married Martha Bennett in 1843, its really the rest of the family I need info on. Can anyone find any info on this lot maybe in the 1841 census? Does anyone have access to Devon records that could maybe find the marriage between Thomas & Jenny? Thanking you all in anticipation Janice
