| Family Background: |
| William was the son of Edward Ingrey and Mary Anne [nee Theobalds] [who died in December 1884 when William was 7, buried in Wimpole Churchyard] who were married at Wimpole and who lived in the French House on Ermine Way, north of Arrington. In the 1891 Census, 14-year-old William Ingrey lived there as an Agricultural Labourer. |
| CWGC tells us that William was married to a Beatrice May Ingrey (nee Carter) [1884-1872] who was living at 'Belle Vue',
West Parade, Dunstable (although I have been unable to track down the marriage ceremony). William's military pension record shows that they had one son named William Edward Ingrey who was born on the 28 February 1913 in Luton. There also appears to be some evidence of an adopted child named Mildred Jessie Mary Jane listed on the pension documentation. |
| Beatrice was named as widow on the army pension settlement and the local Dunstable Register of Electors confirms she lived at 'Belle Vue',
47 West Parade, [presumably with young William Edward] until at least 1938 when the records cease. An adult William Edward Ingrey was also listed as living at the same address from 1934. Then... |
| William and Beatrice's son Corporal William Edward Ingrey, 5956641, 1st Battalion, Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry died 'on war service' on the 14 August 1944 and is buried in Normandy, France. |
