GRANTHAM - Help please

[Dwisely]

Just searching the net as my niece is getting married and have managed to go back about three generation.   Samuel Federick Timmo was my great great grandfather and Mary Ann Grantham my great great grandmother.  They married in Christchurch New Zealand in 1879.  My great grandfather was their son William who married Matilda Sweeney and they had four children one of which was my grandmother Mary Clair Timmo.  She married William Quinn and they had four children one of which is my mother Peggy Quinn who married Peter Anstis in 1959 and had three children, myself Diane and my brothers Shane and David (twins).

I note that you have a photo of Samuel and Mary Ann with their children - would love to get a copy.  I have marriage certificate and birth certificates back to Mary Ann and Samuel but that's about as far as I have been able to go.

Hi. My name is Brian and I too have hit a brick wall with family TIMMO
My 2nd great grandmother was
Ellen Beatrice TIMMO 26.5.1886 - 1951 married to
Samuel Nicholas ( Brick) MARTIN 1889-1958.
Beatrice was one of Mary Ann (GRANTHAM) and Samuel Frederick TIMMO's children.
Samuel Frederick TIMMO B 1852=1901.  I cannot substantiate this but have heard that Samuels father was an orphan in Southern India ? Tamil Nadu/Madras now Chennai'Born about 1832 then taken to England at a young age by a British soldier, where he must have had his name changed.
I would be most appreciative of any information to assist me in cracking this seemingly difficult brick wall .
Many thx
Brian
