Hi all, I have a William GRAY, who, according to the baptismal records of his children, was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland in or around 1762. William married Elizabeth nee HOGGETT in Holy Trinity Church, Sunderland, Co. Durham, in 1784 .Elizabeth was the daughter of Thomas HOGGETT and Bridgett of Sunderland. If anyone is researching the GRAY family from Northumbria or Durham I would love to connect. I am descended form his son, John GRAY, ship builder, who emigrated to Tasmania in 1823 and built boats throughout his long life. Best wishes to all Beverley Rodan Melbourne
