Charles GREGORY published by Pat Hase - 4 years 8 months 7 days ago. | | Thanks to your help - I've found his death! It was in London in 1870. Now, where was he buried?  | |
Charles GREGORY published by Pat Hase - 4 years 8 months 7 days ago. | | Wow, thanks for that - that is great - not for them though! - But as you say it does give something more to work with. And those children were theirs as well born in 1847 and 1848. Many thanks - John GREGORY is Worthy No 14 so I'm grateful for your and Dave's help with them. | |

Charles Gregory
