John Bramwell Grainger

[Grainger]

Has anyone any knowledge or information regarding John Bramwell Grainger born 1903, he was my Great Uncle, my grandfather was William Alfred Grainger.  I know he lived and died in Conset.  This is one part of the family I have no knowledge of and would fill in a few gaps for me.  The family may have had a falling out sometime ago.

Thanks a lot Suz.  Could you suggest anywhere I could look to see if they had a family?

Hi Mags

It's a bit tedious but if you trawl through the bmd full index births looking for children named Grainger and pick up any with mother's maiden name Watt and a NE registration district.

Good luck

Hi,

I can give you 1901 details of your Grainger family in Consett if you don't already have them?

Dear Mim

I am more interested in John B Grainger information after 1923 when I know John married Elizabeth Watt.  I have the most of the family history of John's brothers and sisters before then.  Thanks for your help.

I knew we had family somewhere else!

John Bramwell Grainger (Jack) was my Grandfather (named Bramwell after Bramwell Booth (Salvation Army guy)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bramwell_Booth
