Thank you for welcoming me to your mailing list. My name is Ken Thomas. I have always lived in or near Bristol. My interest in family history started in 1996. I am researching my GREGORY family links. My 3x gt grandfather was born in Yaxley. Olinthus Gilbert GREGORY was born 29.1.1774 and followed quite a special career until his death in Woolwich Kent on 2.2.1841. I know that he married Rebecca MARSHALL who I believe formerly lived in Farcet about 2 miles NE of Yaxley. All I know of her is that she and Olinthus had 2 children – James born 20.6.1805 and Eliza (my 2x gt grandmother) born 20.11.1806. Sometime in the period 1806 to 1811 Rebecca GREGORY disappeared from known records. I must assume the died. Olinthus married again in that period. I understand that a rather grand tombstone exists at Yaxley Parish Church. Strangely, Olinthus is commemorated, together with his mother and father but there is no mention of Rebecca. In 1802 Olinthus was appointed Mathematics master at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, Kent, so if Rebecca had died it would have happened, most likely, in Woolwich. What I am wondering is if anyone else is researching the GREGORY family and would like to exchange information with me. I do have rather a lot on Olinthus but would very much like to know more about Rebecca. With best wishes to all listers, Ken Ken Thomas, Rose Green, Bristol
