Death Notes
Death record in Civil Records shows Bethy (or perhaps Betty) Gray, a widow, aged 70 years, described oddly as a labourer, dying of "Ch bronchitis, 5 years certified, James Gray, "Son of the deceased", from Cullyvenny, Present at Death.
I just got the research for Elizabeth Burk. Still not found.
That now leaves the years 1916-1920! she was very old when she died. It is Yonkers - just north of NYC. I will send for the next search today (140409).
General Notes
Source: Civil Records death entry, viewed at Derry FHC.
Her name is confirmed as Elizabeth in the death certificate of her son, Samuel Gray, who died in New York on the first day of 1893.
BB - 280109:I have just had a brill deduction. You asked what I thought Elizabeth's surname was. I now think I see a possibility of its being HENRY. This is my reasoning. There is William HENRY in Camus in both the TAB and Census and we know we like the name William (as it only appears in your Grays). He could be Elizabeth's father AND then lo and behold an Alexander HENRY pops up in Coolyvenny abt the time the Grays do and his daughter, Hannah Elizabeth Henry marries James Gray, Elizabeth's grandson in 1888.
BG: I do him as the father of my Bethy. Bethy was born in 1794. William was a big landholder in the 1828 TAB. He could have been born circa 1760. Also James and Bethy Gray decided to call their THIRD son William, which as you said is the only William in the Grays, AND if it was her father was the William, the naming convention would make it probably their third son.
