Research by Gary Gray via Genes Reunited. All ancestors are from various parishes around Drumbo. Comment from Gary
"Just an observation but during my research I noted there seemed to be three distinct lines of Grays - one lot were farmers, another lot were weavers and the third (mine) were blacksmiths.
