I have just established that my GGrandmother, Eliza BLAY, whom I originally thought was born in White Waltham in 1870, was in fact born in Islington in 1860. Her father was James BLAY, a bootmaker. In 1881, she was working as a domestic servant at St. Marys Vicarage, Staines.
In 1886, she married George CHASE, a gardener, living in Staines, but originally from Privett in Hampshire.
There was also a William James BLAY living in Staines, also born in Islington. I believe that he was probably her brother as a William J. BLAY was a witness at her wedding, at St. Marys Church.
Does anyone else have any knowledge of these BLAYs from Islington? James BLAY had several other children besides these two.
