Warwickshire / Re: GRANTHAM - Help please
« on: Thursday 15 March 07 00:36 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Tisha
My great,great grandfather Thomas Grantham(born 1820) was the son of William Grantham/Sarah Winter.He married Elizabeth Powell at Ettington on the 5th April 1844.They had at least eleven children and seem to have moved around the area between Banbury and Shipston as the children are born in a few different villages.Cannot find a baptism for my great grandmother ,Dinah Grantham, or my grandfather Josiah Fisher.This does not mean they were'nt baptised as my father was baptised at home because they thought he would not live long.Perhaps they were all home baptisms and thats why no record exsists,just thought i would mention it as a possible reason you are having trouble finding baptism records.I have seen some lists on parish registers as "baptisms not bought to church"but i think it was down to the individual vicar to record them.
Thomas Grantham died on 26 December 1879 in Pillerton Hersey of pneumonia.Elizabeth moved to Aston ,Birmingham with Dinah who married my great grandfather George Edwin Fisher in 1882.I think Elizabeth died in Bromsgrove in 1907 but i have'nt sent for the cert.yet.Hope that explains how i am attached to the granthams and helps with your Thomas query.
Best wishes,Colin.

Warwickshire / Re: St Andrews Church,Birmingham

Hi Leelou,
A sister of my great grandfather was married at St.Andrews church,Bordesley in 1877.There is a church in St.Andrews street close to the football ground ,don't know if its the right one though.
Some of the streets or roads in Birmingham no longer exsist due to being demolished  for the building of roads etc.I cannot find some of the streets my ancestors lived in and was told this is probably what happened to them.
Hope this helps or points you in the right direction.

angelbaby,thanks very much for that info,however i am pretty sure her mother was Elizabeth Powell(my greatx2 grandmother) who married Thomas Grantham on 5th April 1844 at Eatington(now Ettington).I got this info from the parish records at Warwick record office.Mary Ann had 15 children the only name i have is Minnie Timmo born about 1883.Thanks again,colin.

Hi,Thanks for replying,i'm based in england and it would be great if you could check your info out to see if there is anything about the Timmo's or mary ann grantham.I've been told anyone called Timmo in New zealand is a direct descendant of samuel and mary ann but i don't know for sure if this is true.Apparently samuel and mary ann had 15 children,samuel died in 1903 in Ashburton and Mary Ann died in 1932 in Napier if that helps you identify them within your info.
The story i have been told is that samuel,who was born in Madras india,was found as an orphan by a british soldier and taken to America from India.Samuel and Mary Ann were travelling to New Zealand on the same ship and this is how they met.Samuel had been working in the goldfields ,poss california,and was going to NZ to do the same.How Mary Ann came to be in America is a mystery at the moment.We also don't know the name of the ship or any dates for these events at present.Best Wishes,Colin.

Hi Dizz,
           Thomas Grantham born 1820 was my great,great grandfather.My great grandmother was his daughter Dinah.One of her sisters Mary Ann emigrated to New Zealand and i have just found out from a contact in Australia that she went there via America.Given she appears on the 1871 census living in Pillerton Priors and was married in Ashburton,South Island to a Samuel Timmo in 1878,she must have emigrated as a child,but we don't know why.Having just read about Jeremiah Grantham,your ancestor,being in New Zealand i wondered if you know of any connection with Mary Ann.Is he the reason she went to New Zealand?
Colin.
