| Bio | 1929 Canadian doubles winner with her younger sister Olive Wade. Mrs. Gray was the superior player before 1929 when Olive started to eclipse her in singles. She traveled with her sister in 1929 to New York City for the US Championships at Forest Hills, losing in the 1st round 6-0 6-3 to Gertrude Dwyer. Elsie was the oldest child of Alfred Wade (a stonecutter) and Elizabeth Mason of Essex, England. The family emigrated to Canada in 1907. Usually, she was listed as Mrs. O. E. Gay. The birth of their son James Richard in August of 1933 in Toronto effectively put an end to her tennis days at the upper levels of the sport. Emigrating to the US in 1945, by 1946, they took up residence in Florida; she received her Social security card from there that year. A 1951 Florida naturalization paper for Oswald lists his job as "tennis professional." He was born in Gibraltar in 1898. it also gives their marriage date as 1920. The couple were living in Ft Lauderdale, Florida, at the time. Later in life, she may have moved to New Jersey after the death of her husband in 1962. |
