William Grundy mariner b approx 1806

[brigidmac]

I've just found that William junior aged 12 in the workhouse in Walton on the hill West derby (posted at same time )


Further down page is a George Grundy age 9

There are so many censuses with William Grundy on ....I haven't refound the ones with Harriet

[brigidmac]

There's also a William Gurney indentured in merchant navy in Oct 1844 also a good candidate for junior

[brigidmac]

Another William Grundy is a cordwinder age 22 a visitor of the Rick family at new street liverpool

I haven't found Harriet/Sarah Grundy b1805 or earlier on any 1851 census or a death for her .

And no appropriate William Grundy senior in other censuses

The banns for William Grundy and Harriet Northeast were 26 Jan 1827 St Nicholas Liverpool

Thanks for Mary Ann Healey's birth.... Heywood
So definitely 3 or 4 years before her parents marriage

There are several naval court records.medals honours list and  pensions but for William Grundy .

Need Fold to access

Ages not given so father or son Could feature on these lists

 No Grundy seems to be born in Falmouth 1906 ..So ship records don't tally .....

I found  daughter Sarahs baptism 22/07/1827     # Ann.s was further up  on  same page

William and Harriet were living on New Bird street

According to various census  Sarah was born between 1822 and 1825
.
Ann born 1827-  this would mean Sarah born before parents wedding.(if it is the correct father )

Still no sign of Sarah aged approx 18 and Ann 14 in 1841

Possible death of Harriet in 1839  in Clitheroe which would explain why not coming up in any census
 .And why 12 year old son in workhouse.

There is a Harriet Grundy aged 40 in 1841

Probably not ours as it's in Berkshire and she's listed as born in county

But it's interesting because she seems to be living in a rectory as F S ( female servant)
Page before has a schoolmistress and a long list of young people aged 20 to 8yrs

So i guess it doubles as a school

George Grundy baptised 1832 parents Harriet and William Grundy labourer king Street

George in Walton on hill workhouse age 9 1941

1951 he's in prison aged 19 occupation shoemaker

May be related
Sarah Grundy died age 8  July 1836 in workhouse ......No other details

[heywood]

Harriet Grundy died 6th July 1836 in the workhouse so perhaps not your Grundys.

[brigidmac]

That fits perfectly

She could have died in childbirth ....George may well have been born in workhouse
