Logically, Aaron Hadley would be the step brother of William Henry De Grey and brother in law of Mary Price.

This William Henry De Grey

http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/fa ... rey-Family

Is logically the first husband of Sarah Taylor who marries David Hadley when Henry kicks the bucket.

http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/fa ... lor-Family

But we have Henry quite happily married to Mary Price in the 1881 census!!

So there must be two William Henry De Grey born abt 1846.

This is typical confusion as soon as Hadleys are involved....

Silly me, mixing up the older William Henry with the younger. I will blame the drugs...

So Aaron Hadley is William Henry De Gray Jnr's step brother and the brother in law of Mary Price.

Do not Know what you are on about Rf. I know my family inside out .I spend alot of time on it and money. I live in Worcester and i can not get to the archives in Dudley that easy. I ask to have it put on BCC to help others not just for myself . Is that not what the BCC is about.Joining up families ? :? .
