Last heard of in Hellidon, Northants, when she gave birth to a baseborn son, Thomas Francis, in 1852. Elizabeth Grubb nee Aires, widow of James, was born in 1814 in Fenny Compton. She gave birth to six children by James, one or two of them later lived in Banbury and Fenny Compton.
I have not found a burial in Hellidon and was hoping that somebody may be able to find her somewhere in 1861 when she would be aged approx. 47, or 1871 for me. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Al

Why are we not looking for the kids in 1861/1871, (with whom she is likely to be?)

You are right Pauline so here they are with approx. ages in 1861-
William 25, John 22, Oliver19, Ann17, Elizabeth 15, Edward14.
Banbury and Fenny Compton seemed to play a big part later on.
Cheers, Al

So apart from a learning exercise in how to spell Hellidon, we haven't learned much.

Do you know if Thomas Francis (b1852) survived to adulthood?
-
On the contrary Pauline I have learned plenty from your lookup. The results suggest to me that probably the mother had died as the family is scattered about, or had possibly remarried.
Your last inscription about John having left was from Fenny Compton Wharf so he probably hopped onto a passing barge and landed in Bishops Itchington, but I hadn't picked him up there!
I don't believe Thomas Francis Grubb survived for long but I could be wrong. I certainly havn't picked him up.
Although we still havn't found Elizabeth you have given much valuable information and I fully appreciate the time and effort you have put in and thank you very much-Al

Big raspberries to anyone who says that you don't learn anything by looking at family members eh?
My Pleasure.

Hi I’m related to the Grubb family Fenny Compton
-
Hello,
How far have you gone back?
-
Hi about 1800 there are quite a few buried at Fenny Compton churchyard I think there are a couple in wormleighton and also I believe some at Walthamcote
-
My great grandad was William Grubb a lot of them lived In Fenny Compton and surrounding areas some of them were wheelrights.
-
I have been to the village and seen the cottage also took a photo of the gravestone. I trust you have been into the church and seen the notice on the bier on which it relates that the straps were made and donated by Oliver Grubb and two of his sons subscribed to them?
Hellidon, where the family came from after moving from Daventry is worth going to, William Grubb the Butcher there married Ann Aris the Millers daughter and your line came from them.
I have a document from 1814 with William's signature on it and also copies of his will.
I have traced back to the 1500s, my DNA suggests we were originally Danish Vikings who came and settled in Northamptonshire in the 1100s.
-
Wow thanks for that information that’s really interesting , I didn’t know about the straps in the church so that’s great I will have a look through my notes and message you back thankyou regards Paula.

There are quite a lot of the family here in Nuneaton who came down two separate lines from Hellidon.
You can always get hold of me on the Nuneaton Griff FC website, Rod
-
Ok great I have in my notes William Grubb 1801-1880 he was married to Elizabeth Kellett 1800-1879 maybe this is the Elizabeth you might be looking for?
-
No, the one I am looking for was an Elizabeth Aires of Fenny Compton, born 1814, who married James Grubb at Hellidon in 1935. James died in 1847 aged just 44 and in 1852 Elizabeth gave birth to a base born child named Thomas Francis. I have found no further trace of Elizabeth.
They left six children, some lived in Neithrop in Banbury including Oliver who was later a wheelwright in Fenny Compton. He took over the house (still Extant) of his brother William when the latter moved to Leicester.
There were other Grubbs in FC earlier but the wheelwright line is from my family in Hellidon.
