I started my Genealogy work by looking into my adopted family history. A lot was quite easy to do thanks to some great work done by other members of the family, which meant that all I had to do was verify it.
*Update – I did manage to advance the tree by one generation, but finding information on James Gregory or Jacobus (Latin for James) was proving tricky, and even 18 years after I wrote this post (2006) there’s still very little come to light.
Well, we are pretty much back to these two again in the hunt for the long-lost James/ Jacobus Gregory.
Here are the two most likely suspects.
6. JAMES GREGORY – International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 08 SEP 1671 Duffield, Derby, England
7. James Gregory – International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 1672 Bakewell, Derby, England
*2023 – Thanks to my late Cousin Mark’s excellent detective work we can see that James ‘ son William was living around the Youlgrave area, but was too-ing and fro-ing between there and Ashover. So, I’m seeking Gregory’s info about Duffield as I reckon that might be the most logical place sort of route but who can tell, theories welcome.
