John Arthur GRAY is recorded on the 1881 census as the adopted son of William and Sarah COUSINS (RG11/4670/26/45). They are all living at Sothall Green, Beighton, Derbyshire. John Arthur Gray was born about 1868 in Sheffield, Yorkshire.

I am trying to find his true parents and the reason he was adopted.

Any help gratefully received.

Regards
Jon
