Ure, Gray, Hughes, and Shaw Surnames

[uregirl]

My grandfather came from Shotts, Lanarkshire and unfortunately he passed on before I realised the importance of discussing the family with him. If you know of these families or connect in some way I would like to hear from you.

What I think I know is as follows:
John Gray URE or John Ure GRAY - Grandfather b. 1/06/1897 in Shotts, Lanarkshire -moved to Australia in 1925 and then on to New Zealand where he lived out his life. His siblings were Jeanie, Robert, Harry, & Jessie.
Robert URE b.1863, his father, married Jane (Jeanie) HUGHES. Robert had a sister called Elizabeth b.1865.
Their father also Robert URE married Elizabeth SHAW (in 1862)and died early. Elizabeth SHAW went on to marry John Gray(in 1867). John GRAY came to the marriage with a son called John. Elizabeth and John had 4 more children possibly named William, James, Annabella & Thomas.

I can think of an excellent way to find out the history of your Gray line. Lesley Gray of Scottish Ancestral Trails runs a business that helps you find out about your ancestry, as she is also a Gray I am sure she has a good knowledge of the clan. see her website at Scotland Tours
