Find Ancestors

I know I have asked this before many years ago but I seem to have lost the information.

Please can someone look George up on the 1841/51 census. I know he was living in Lincolnshire. His parents were George and Ann Gray, nee Hollingsworth.

He was baptised in Winterton on 13/03/1831

He left the country for Australia in 1852. He was a Primitive Methodist Minister.

Thank you for helping me.

Jane

All the best

Jane

Thanks Reggie

All the best

Hi

I have just checked my records and found I must have the wrong date for George leaving England for Australia.

Please can someone see if they can find him on the emigration list for 1858/59. He would probably have sailed from Liverpool.

In Sept 1858 he was still in England

Thank you for your help

Jane

If he did sail in 1852 as I first thought then he must have returned to England as I have him working in Howden and Selby Lincs in 1854.


He is first mentioned as being in Campbellfield Australia in 1858.

Jane

The ship was named George Marshall and arrived in Melbourne ?1858.

I jusst found this inhis obituary.

(not sure if above could help with more info. from Passenger List, no image online to view)


DISTRICT INTELLIGENCE.
The Hull Packet and East Riding Times (Hull, England), Friday, January 28, 1859

Primitive Methodist Missionaries for Australasia.
The Rev. Joseph Langham at the request of the Missionary Committee, is about to go out to establish a Mission in Tasmania. He left Barton for London. The Rev. George Gray of Market Rasen, son of the late Mr. John Gray of Winterton, has felt it his duty to offer himself for the mission work, and has been accepted. He is appointed to the Province of Victoria. They will sail from the East India docks in the ship George Marshall about the middle of February.


(same Newspaper 11th February 1859)

In the Primitive Methodist Chapel, on Friday the 4th, Mr. George Gray of Roxby preached his farewell sermon, a very excellent one, on the eve of his going out for ten years as a missionary to Australia.

Thank you so much Chris.

I'm not sure about the Passenger list above, I will have to look into that. The District intelligence part is definitely my George. So thank you very much for that information.

You have been a great help.

Today I have found a picture of him which I never dream't of so I am really happy.

All the best

Jane

Thanks for your Help Chris

I think that must have been the date he went out on. It arrived on 9th June. In his obituary it said it was a sixteen week journey which would bring it back its departure back to February.

That newspaper article you found said Friday 4th Feb was the eve of his going to Australia. So it seems to more or less fit.

Thanks again

PS I love that Lincstothepast site. It has been very useful.

(think Lincs to Past was another Chris, I'm more below, although it is always better to see original images!)

(do you have the Cert.?)

Hi Chris

No I don't have the cert. I will send for it shortly.

As for the papaer saying his father was John. All I can think of was the person was getting confused with George Gray senior, as his father was John. George Grey senior also had a lot to do with the church although I do not think he became a missioner/ preacher.

Thanks again

Jane
