The 1836 marriage notice was the only thing I could find.

The Sydney Morning Herald - Fri 23 Nov 1866 p.7
MARRIAGES
WRAY - BREATHOUR.-November 12th, by special license, at Sofala, by the Rev. G. E. Styles, George Albert, son of the late George L. S. Wray, Esq., formerly of the U.S. Navy, and more recently of Londonderry, Ireland, to Anna Maria, daughter of Mr. James Breathour, Parramatta.

If George senior died in Ireland it must have been before 1864.

Looking for George's birth and details on his parents, thanks.

Thanks Keith.

Somehow George L S ends up in U.S. Navy ??


The only one with name as Wray and age that fits if the tree is correct. A long way from Derry.

Name MARY WRAY
Date of Death 1880
Group Registration ID 6504842
SR District/Reg Area Donegal
Deceased Age at Death 80

Widow of a farmer. No middle name on image.

A Susan Wray present at death.
