Hedwig Ema Gray

Post by Seymour »

Thank you all you were most helpful and without your suggestions I would not have made any progress with my research. I have discovered that my Great Aunt accompanied her husband to Furth in Germany when he was repatriated at the end of the Great War. He became a toy manufacturer and died in 1940, my Great Aunt died in 1938. Their only son Frederick changed his name to Gray and married a German girl in Berlin and again in London. They moved to Liverpool. During the second world war Mrs Hedwig Ema Gray worked in a hospital tending injured soldiers. I love my Genealogy research and have what seems like adventures. This time I was also helped by a German Pastor and spoke to Hedwig's neice an eighty yars of age lady who spoke beautifully and was a delight. She said how Hedwig opposed the Nazis and loved her adopted country.
