Fishnet: i have found the information for you.  It came from a website www.familysearch.org.  I typed in Mary Ann Grantham, NZ and it returned quite a bit of info at the time LOL, the information listed on this site as follows.  Mary Ann Grantham born 1860-1862 Straford on Avon England, married Samuel Frederick Timmo ( or Timms, could also be Frederick Samuel) on 29 March 1879/1880, Ashburton / Canterbury New Zealand. and she died 1 August 1932, Napier Hawkes Bay, NZ.  Her mother was also a Mary Ann..  With this information, you can request her death certificate, if you wait till next week i can provide you with a folio number to order. that will have listed all living children at time of death. Parents names, etc... Hope this helps.

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 Colin, the mothers name on this site might very well be wrong i wouldnt trust any info unless its hard facts LOL  However i hope some of this info helps.  Did you loook at whitepages.co.nz? that should list all the Timmos in NZ.  Will see what i can pull from Births Deaths and Marriages next week for you. cheers.

Hi All

I quick update on the information I found - we got back as far as William & Sarah Grantham who were both born in Tysoe in the 1790s - and I didn't have access to the records, well I sent for some and they have arrived, so from the Registers of Tysoe in Warwickshire -

1815 Dec 26th William Grantham married Sarah Winter

1793 Feb 3rd William s/o Robert & Mary Grantham baptised

they also had Thomas 1791 (died 1816), Ann 1798 and Elizabeth 1803

finally a marriage 1790 Oct 10th Robert Grantham to MAry Hemmings

So there you go back another generation
