Thanks PricklyHolly and Gins.

I will have to send for the death cert and see what that says. That death you found does seem likely.

All the best

Thank you so much. William is his brother.

Now to find him on the 1861. The only one familysearch could find was born in Norfolk. I had better check the deaths.

Thanks again PricklyHolly

Please can someone see if they can find Robert Gray on the 1851 census . Familysearch has him as a boarder/visitor aged 42. Please can you tell me who he is staying with and what his job is. Thank you.
