Grayson family

Notes

Martha Chatterly

Picture of her with Edward in family archives, no more information.

Susan Williams email 4/5/07 gave me Martha's last name (which is likely
a married name) and said Martha's daughter Lucy and Lucy's husband Charles
emigrated to the US and were living with Martha and Edward at
269 Hamilton Ave. Paterson City, Passaic County, New Jersey
in the 1930 census.  Also, according to Susan, "Edward and Martha made many trips back to England to visit family, Martha had other children still living in Wigan."

1930 census shows her living in Paterson with Edward.

LYDIA WILSON to the D.A.R. by right of descent from
Asa Bearce born in Halifax, Mass., May 13, 1740; citizen of
Barnstable, died at Hebron, Maine, July 15, 1829.

 His service in assisting in the establishment of
American Independence during the War of the Revolution,
upon which her claim of eligibility to membership is based,
were as follows.

Charles Roland Upham

Source: exact dates from SSDI. Nellie's records have just birthyear.
Perhaps it is this uncle that Ed remembers moving to CA.  
Called Roland by his family and in the 1920 census.
Family photo leads me to believe his wife is named Doris,
and he had at least one son.   

From John Phillips, his grandson: Charles Roland's marriage to
Doris resulted in one child, the boy Donald in the picture.
However, the marriage did not last and after Pearl Harbor was
bombed, Charles Roland went to Hawaii as a civilian to help
rebuild it. While there, he met a man who later became his
brother-in-law.  The two friends returned to California and
married two sisters. Charles and his new wife,  Alice Carter,
moved to Gardena, California after the war and then retired to
Paradise, California.
