William Wray b1811 (Aug 09 Green)
My ggg grandfather William Wray was an affluent fruit merchant in Leeds but the family home was Hobberley House in Barwick in Elmet. I have some photographs of the house but wondered if anybody had any links to the Wray's. William married twice and had a large family, although I cannot trace a record of his second marriage to Elizabeth (surname believed to be Williamson). He died in 1883 and I have a copy of his will. Would be pleased to share info with any other family members.
