Hi
I have been looking for ages for the birth/baptism of a Thomas Grainger. His Death Certificate says he died 24 November 1844 at where he worked, the pub called The Chamberlain Arms, 12 Noble Street, London, aged just 43, so puts his year of birth at 1801. He married an Elizabeth Burkett (Born 1805 in Cottenham,Cambridge) on 11 September 1826 at St. Luke's Church, Old Street, London. I believe his children were also christened there - Elizabeth Grainger Born 1829, Thomas Grainger Born 1838 ,Hannah Grainger Born 1832 and William Grainger in 1840. I can't seem to find him on the 1841 census (checked Old Bailey records and nothing on him in prison etc.). Not sure how to find him in a local hospital? His wife Elizabeth and their children are on the 1841 census living at the pub in Noble Street, naming her also as Victualler. I do not know the names of Thomas's parents. I thought maybe his gravestone may hold some clues but I have read that the gravestones have long gone from St. Lukes.
Can anyone help me with this please?
Many thanks
Aunty Gene
