Thread: George Grey/Gray b1832?

Trying to trace my 3xgr grandfathers parents and siblings he was born Eckford, Roxburgh, Scotland, i believe his parents were William Grey/Gray and Agnus Rutherford they were wed 16/11/1822 in Eckford, Roxburgh, Scotland. George married 1854 in Alnwick and think his parents died 1858 Agnes and William 1866 (just rought est.), would like if possible any information on George's parents and siblings and if possible census 1841/51/61. I have George on 1861c but would like father, would greatly appreciate any information to hopefully go further back on his parents and forward on siblings. Thank you so much. All information i have received in the past has been greatly appreciated and i thank you all so much.

his parents were GEORGE GRAY AND MARGARET RUTHERFORD ( coincidence or what ?) some relation on the line there sharron .

Thank you so much for that information Hazlenut, would it be possible for census at all, this is all on my father's side and on my mother's side i have Rutherford's as well but they come from Stepney, i hope i don't have a problem chasing these Rutherford's like i do with the Stepney lot.

see what i can find for you sharron

This was not uncommon in that area. I have quite a few in my tree like that. Their children were all farm labourers and the female children all seemed to have illegitimate children. I would love to know how much work got done on these fields.

Thank you Hazlenut i really do appreciate this, hoping that they are on 1841c Scotland maybe 1851c also but could have moved to Alnwick not sure.

cant find william or agnus in 1841, 1851 or 1861 , did they move but all i got was george as a lodger 19 blacksmiths apprentice Jedburgh, roxborough in 1851 ,
