The profile is Bray-3375 Does anyone have more info on this line ?
Im on the hunt for my ancestors parents to continue building this line of the tree. Ive hit a solid block with one John Lovelace Augustin Bray (1829-1872).
Locations for this line of the Bray name would include St Giles in the Fields, St Martin in the fields, Middlesex, London.
Information currently at hand shows him living in London, Married in 1849 to Rosa Jemima Martin and having several children (John Charles, Rosa Kate, Charles Lovelace, Florence Lizzie, Frederick Augustus, Ernest Walter, Laura Helena, Eveline Emma and Alfred Herbert before passing away in 1872 - while living at 32 Stepney Green, St Clement Danes, Middlesex.
His marriage certificate to Rosa Jemima shows his fathers name as John, a grocer.
If anyone happens to have some corresponding information, I would be most grateful!

The Brays were in my mother's lineage. I would love to hear from others researching this part of my family tree. I visited Cornwall many times as a child but was unaware of my connection. I live on the outskirts of Manchester in the UK. Many of my ancestors were miners and quarrymen
Looking for any Brays who had relatives in the Leicester, Surrey area. Bray’s i’m Looking for worked on the railroads, so they were constantly moving. Currently stuck on Bray from Leicester, Born 1857, married Emma Warden. If anyone can help that would be great. Also if anyone need help drop me a an email. thanks, Richard
This was in Missouri and she apparently started it in 1876. So, he could have been born in the range 1850-1870
Does he look familiar to anyone? I would love to know who this is. I have no idea what her connection to him was.
born 1848-1851 was orphaned at a young age and went to live with uncle and aunt Preston Holt and Rutha Holt. He sqid he thought his father's name was John. Could there be a connection? Would like to learn more!!!!
I am interested in participating, I am new to this forum and I hope I am doing this correctly.
Thanks
Nothing sudden but I'd like to add a bit here and there.
thanks!

My family also originated from Cornwall and many moved to Yorkshire. Mining and working in quarries was a feature of my family tree
I also created a redirect, so Project:Bray (the link for the button from the Bray surname page) brings you to this page.
Cheers, Liz
