Member Since: August 2013 Posts: 5 Send Message	I am trying to find information on my mother inlaw's relatives (she is 85 years old) - Her grandmother is Esther Berry b.1859 in Scotland d. 1940 in Scotland. Her spouse was Alexander Campbell b. 1860. They had a daughter Annie Gray Campbell. I have been unable to clarify who the parents of Esther and Alexander were but it looks like Esther's may be Irish. Is it reasonable to assume that Esther's maiden name was Gray (middle name given to her dtr Annie Gray Campbell)? If anyone can help with naming of children it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Sandie
