Thread: Thomas CRAY (b) c1825

I have been informed that Thomas CRAY (b) c1825, at Warminster.

I am still trying to trace the parents of this Thomas.

I know that he served in The Royal Marines, as private, at the Fort Barracks, Pembroke Dock, West Wales in 1851.



I am also interested in tracing any of Thomas's descendants who lived in or around Wales in the 1800/1900's [ any Pembrokeshire CRAY references would obviously be very useful ]



All replies will be answered.

Hi



IGI has a submitted entry but no submitters details



Thomas Cray

Christening 25 Feb 1820 Warminster Wiltshire

Father ~ Thomas Cray

Mother ~ Lydia [no surname]

He marries Ann Reynolds in 1851 – there is a postem against the Free BMD entry for the marriage – as Ann’s name has not been fully transcribed.



Postem reads “On 10/4/1851 @ Parish Church St. John Pater,Thomas Cray,bachelor,Private in Royal Marines,Pembroke Dock, father Thomas Cray,blacksmith & Ann Raynes, spinster, servant, Pembroke Dock, father David, labourer. Both full age. Should read Ann REYNOLDS.”
