Biography
Married as Thomas Patrick Gray.
Died aged 64. Informant was Thomas Gray, son. Died from cancer of the throat & neck.
The marriage cert of 19 June 1825 at St Michael's and John's, Dublin, seems to be for them because her name is correct, but he is listed as Thomas Patrick Gray. This is a Catholic Church, which Mary was, but Tom was protestant (see obit) - maybe he changed his name for the Catholic occasion? Or maybe he was distancing himself from his family who would not have been one tiny teeny bit impressed that he was marrying a Catholic. Maybe this was also why they took the drastic step of moving to the far ends of the earth. His family must have been pretty prosperous and were well educated. Tom was well educated, by his handwriting and other newspaper accounts I have. He was also given a letter of reference to the VDL company.
The Cornwall Chronicle (Launceston, Tas. : 1835 - 1880) Friday 29 March 1872 p 2 Family Notices - GRAY.— On the 20th of March, Thomas Pinnorma Gray, of Leinster Hill, Circular Head, first cousin to the Rev. William Bernard Cole, Doctor of Divinity, minister of the Church of England, of Bolton Street, Dublin, and cousin to Captain Graham, and nephew to Waltar Marian, Captain of Her Majesty's 63rd Regiment.
