James 'Jim' Gray
Hello! Thank you for letting me join this site!
I am doing some family research and I'm looking for James 'Jim' Gray. He was a doctor and I know he worked for Ellerman in London in the 1960's.
Any help with this would be gratefully appreciated.
Kindest regards,
Clodagh

Re: James 'Jim' Gray
Hi Marian. Thanks so much for replying. James was born in Co Offaly, Ireland 28.04.1910. I don't know where he died, possibly London. He was working for Ellerman in 1963 I know that for sure.

Not 100% sure here but what i have seen is that he possibly died in Hammersmith London Area at age 55/56 in 1967 ?? As said not sure you may know if he was still Alive at that age!

Hi Marian, I'm just wondering about the above date because James 'Jim' seems to disappear after 1965. Can you tell me where you saw it please? The 1983 death date is a total guess on our part.

Re: James 'Jim' Gray
Marian,
This is absolutely fabulous. The only problem is no matter how large I magnify these records I can't read them. Can you tell me where you found them or could you possibly email them to me? Really appreciate this!
Kindest regards,
Clodagh
