GRINDELLS/GRINDALLS/GRUNDILLS/GROUNDILS
« on: Thursday 04 January 07 22:31 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to trace any Grindell family members from the Knottingley/Pontefract areas.  As you can probably see, there are many variations of the name.  The Grindells were my Great Grandmothers family & originated from Goole in East Yorkshire.  They all worked as Watermen, out of Goole Docks & travelled to Knottingley because of the Aire & Calder Navigation.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Such an unusual surname, although my cousin is married to one and they are in the South East of England.  Being slightly obsessive about some surnames that occur in various family lines, I make note of those I come across - Here a two that I have located:

GRINDALL   Thomas "At Low Houses, Brigham, on the 22nd inst., Thomas the dearly beloved husband of Frances GRINDALL in his 72nd year.  Was interred at Brigham, on Friday, 25th inst.,  Friends please accept this intimation. His end was peace."

GRINDALL    Joseph  - Grindall's Assignment. - Whereas Joseph GRINDALL, of Fitz in the parish of Torpenhow, in the County of Cumberland, farmer, hath, by indenture of assignment bearing date the 25th day of January last pa??, assigned and transferred all his farming stock and crop, personal estate and effects whatsoever and wheresoever, unto Jonathan BELL, of Whitehaven, in the said county, shoemaker, and Joseph BRAYTON, of Aikbank, in the parish of Moresby, in the said county, yeoman, in trust for the equal benefit of his creditors. Notice is hereby given, that the said assignment is lodged at the office of Mr Walker, solicitor, King Street, Whitehaven, for execution by the creditors of the said Joseph Grindall. And all persons indebted to the said Joseph Grindall, are to pay their respective debts to the said assignees, otherwise they will be proceeded against for recovery thereof. Whitehaven,

Just to put my oar in.  The name Grindle (various spellings) was a prolific family in the Forest of Dean and other areas of Gloucestershire.  It is believed that some of the family arrived in Yorkshire in the 1800 to find work in the mining industry.  Certainly members of the Grindles - related by marriage to other branches of the family - did work in the area.  Seems that yours is a different branch of the Grindles working in a different occupation but none the less interesting.
