  wow thanks for your help.  its pretty late in Nz so if i dont reply i will tomorrow, but i think ill be around , ha ha ha. My name is Tish btw.  Do you live in Warrick?

Fantastic Debbie! I just had a feeling that this family would be found.
Angel and Liz - this is great news for you. Debbie most likely has a subscription to www.ancestry.co.uk (have you Debbie?). This is expensive, but worthwhile, especially if you are just starting out on your UK research. The information is from the census.
There are a few free sites available online, but this family is not on them (yet). Some counties have good coverage, some, not so good.

Umm, so Mary Ann was NOT Young?

  u guys are so nice!!!  this gets more exciting by the minute!!!  i dont want to go to bed, ill prob check back in the mddle of the night HA HA HA HA.....No accourding to my information, Mary ann was an Allabone/allibone....her last name isnt listed in many places, but i found an 1886 census and found a Mary Jane listed as their daughter, i found her marriage listed to a Joseph Awcult on 20 Oct 1888...this had her mother listed as Allibone and her father as Jeremiah....Im assuming that mary anne might not ahve known how to read or write and their is some documnets with Marianne.maryann and mariann on it....where as the 1886 census said mary jane was a scolar, so might of taught her to read and write her own name?...a long shot...

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.

Excuse my ignorance, but does the aboce christened mean they were born on that day, thereofr emaking them twins, or as in exactly that chirstened together, so there ages could be different....? too many mary anns, georges and williams.... :S.. it appears as though my greeat grand parents both had brothers and sistersof the same names....

If any ones wondering i decend from Mary ann 'polly', George and hannahs fourth child.  Liz decends from goerge and hannahs third child..

 thanks again everybody for your help

christened is another word for baptised - and it wasn't uncommon for brothers and sisters to be baptised at the same time if the parents had not had them done soon after birth which was the norm.

I am starting to find bits on the Alliborns - here is Mary Ann - listed as Ann from the 1841 census in Pillerton Hersey with her parants and siblings

from 1841
 John Allibone born 1791   
 Ann Allibone born 1801 
 William Allibone born 1821
 Ann Allibone born 1829
 George Allibone born 1831 
 Eliza Allibone born 1833   
 David Allibone born 1835   
 Emma Allibone born 1838

ahh okay, i understand.

Phew, so that census you posted ( grefully might i add) doesnt stae that Sarah allibone and Marianne Allibone were sisters...thats a start LOL

[DebbieG]

No - it looks as though Sarah Grantham nee Allibone's parents were a Thomas & Elizabeth

from 1861 - Eatington or Ettington
Wm Grantham 38 
Sarah Grantham 40 
Hannah Maria Grantham 11 
Sarah Ann Grantham 9 
Harriet Grantham 8 
William Grantham 6 
John Thomas Grantham 3 
George Grantham 1 

William the father was born Pillerton & all the rest were born in Eatington

From the IGI Sarah Allibone baptised 14th Jan 1821 Ettington daughter of Thomas & Elizabeth Allibone

Sorry this is going to take a while as the assorted spellings of Allibone is making the search tricky
