notes: At the time of his daughter Fanny's birth, and according to her birth certificate, William Ray was a schoolmaster. William's obituary comments that he 'kept a boarding and day school at Rose Hill, near Oxford' before belonging to the church. It appears that he spent about two years in Nottingham, before moving to Newcastle around 1863, shortly before his wife Elizabeth died. He was not fully ordained until 1868. (source: Lynda Metcalfe)
