Notes for William (Spouse 1)
The 1841 census has a John Bray, age 25, living with the family. He is presumably a younger brother of William
William wrote a letter of consent for marriage of daughter Catherine (Feb 1862) in Melbourne about 10 days before wedding. This suggested he & probably the family were in Melbourne at that time which was subsequently confirmed.
No entry in England census after 1851 were found for William & family.
Aarrivals Melbourne
William’s death record suggests he came to Victoria circa 1853. Catherine’s suggested she arrived circa 1855.
