I am trying to research a William Granger, origins and fate unknown, who married Eliza Hornage at Islington St John, Clerkenwell, on 2 Aug 1836 (both of this parish, witnesses Thomas Hornadge & Mrs Briscoe).
William & Eliza had two children:
Thomas Granger baptised 7 Mar 1838 Shoreditch St Leonard (father's abode Macclesfield Place, brewer's servant).
William Granger baptised 7 Jun 1840 Shoreditch St Leonard (father's abode Pleasant Row, servant).
By the time of the 1851 census William has disappeared and the rest of the family appear as follows at Newmarket Road, Brown's Yard, Cambridge St Andrew the Less, Cambridgeshire, as follows:
James Butler 39 head married labourer born Quy Cambridgeshire
Eliza Butler 32 wife married born Sheffield Yorkshire
Thomas Granger son-in-law 12 born London
William Granger son-in-law 10 born London
James Butler son 5 born Chesterton Cambridgeshire
Ann Butler daughter 3 born Cambridge
John Butler son ?4 born Cambridge
Sometime in the 1850s Eliza, Thomas and William migrate to Tasmania, Australia, as free settlers (I think on the Lord Dalhousie which went as a convict ship in 1852).
In 1866 William put an advertisement in Tasmanian newspapers as follows:
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/161080340"I hereby Caution all Clergymen against marrying my Mother— maiden name, Eliza Hornage, known as Eliza Butler, widow of James Butler deceased, her lawful husband, William Granger being yet alive."
I am trying to find William Senior, Eliza, Thomas or William Junior in the 1841 census, but so far without success.
