Arthur Lytton Gray married 1902 Maria Jemima Seymour born 1849 (Mother Maria Ward and Father Samuel Francis Seymour). She passed away 26.04.1907 and is buried in the private Cemetery Arlington situated on the property of Graysholm. We are not sure if there has been a mix up here and perhaps this Maria and her Mother have been mixed up with dates, as looking at the dates that have been recorded would make Maria 29 years Arthur's senior. Being only 24 years of age when he married and Maria 53 years of age does seem a bit out of whack. After doing some extensive research the ages seem to be correct.

After some 6 years Arthur then married again in 1913 Alice Ellen Cullen (Mother Margaret McKenney and Father Michael Cullen) born 1882 and she sadly passed away on the 16th January 1914 less than a month after giving birth. She is buried in the Warwick queensland Cemetery. As their son Noel was born in December 1913 her death could have been related to his birth. Noel was bought up by one of Arthur's sisters, Emily Jane (Gray) Johnstone and her husband William Johnstone. Margaret McKenney, daughter of William McKenney & Ann Barrett. Married 18 August 1871 to Michael Cullen. Children of Michael Cullen and Margaret McKenney:

Annie born 6 August 1873, married 24 Feb 1906 William Smith
Thomas Patrick Christopher born 27 May 1875
Michael Edward born 4 April 1879, married 4 April 1905 Mary Ada Farol

11/12/1913   Noel Francis Gray. Died 24/05/1956. Noel married Dulcie M. Morgan.

Arthur then married 09.06.1922 Cora Jane Layton (nee Fleming) born 21.12.1881. Cora was the daughter of Prosper and Margaret (nee Daniel) Fleming. She had been previously married to George S Layton in 1901. There were 3 children from Arthur and Cora, and Cora also had children from a previous marriage. Jessie Irene b. 1901 & Arthur Theo Layton b. 1904.

Arthur ran the abattoir in Oman Ama Qld. which is situated South West of Graysholme toward Inglewood. He later had a butcher shop in Toowoomba and Eric and Frank (two of Arthur's sons) use to deliver the meat on horseback. Frank can recall getting a big black mare from Graysholm (the Grays property between Gore and Inglewood, where the bullock trains would stop for water.) He named the horse Black Bess.
