GRANTHAM - Help please
« on: Monday 05 February 07 03:32 GMT (UK) »
Hi there,
I  am trying to do my Grantham family tree and am wondering if any one can help me please. 
My family is
Jeremiah Grantham married Mary ?
they had
George Henry Grantham who married Annie ( Hannah ) Maria Stone . George was born 25 Dec 1847
Annie born 18 November 1849
We know the family arrived in New Zealand on the La Hogue but dont know if George had any other brothers and sisters
If anyone can help it would be appreciated
Thank you
Harvey, Grantham, , ,Bogun,  Oliver

Hi dizz,
There are these from the IGI:
with father Jeremiah Grantham, mother Mary Ann

George christened 25 Dec 1847 Pillerton Hersey Warwick
Charles chr 20 Apr 1854 Pillerton Priors Warwick
Joseph chr 20 Apr 1854 Pillerton Priors Warwick

And these may also belong to you:
George Grantham chr 1 Jan 1837 Pillerton Priors, father William Grantham, mother Sarah
George Henry Grantham chr 4 Jun 1876 Oxhill, Warwick, father Charles Grantham mother Jane

There may be more children. I will check the BVRI.

This looks promising - from free bmd:

Marriage Dec 1848
16/69
Jeremiah Grantham and on same page Mary Ann Young

If you buy this marriage certificate you should get both father's names.

Do you have a date of arrival in NZ for your family?

It might help if someone can look them up in the 1851 and 1861 census (depending on when they left for NZ). You may find more children at home with the parents.

By the way ... A search on free bmd for births with the surname Grantham in the county Warwickshire brings up an awful lot of births. Some of them may come in handy for you later.

Good luck.
PS. If you don't have any offers to look up your family, it might be worthwhile to start a new thread with a subject heading something like "1851/1861 census lookup Jeremiah Grantham". He's got a brilliant name - shouldn't think there are too many of those around! (There IS another Jeremiah Henry born later) Hopefully he'll be found!

Hi angel,
I'm in Australia - our certs are around the $22 mark depending on the state I think. The UK ones are £7 and can be ordered online at www.gro.gov.uk.
