Hello again,
Not sure what time it is in NZ, still haven't got my head around the time difference yet! LoL, just know that its 8.15pm Monday in not so sunny England.
Well this is where I believe I fit into the Grantham family:
William Grantham born Tysoe 1794 married to Sarah (Winter) had a son called William born 1823/24 as well as Jeremiah (I love that name) born 1827 and the others mentioned in the other posts,
William Grantham married another Sarah (Allibone) and one of their children was Elizabeth born in Ettington in 1862.
Elizabeth married Henry McConnell from Dublin Ireland who was a lot older than her (22 years older! according to the 1901 census. In 1891 and 1901 they were living in Warwick. They had 10 children including Triplets! One of these triplets was my great grandma Monica Theresa who had 3 children. She unfortunately died 5 days after giving birth to my grandma and then eventually I came along.
If I haven't got it wrong this would make Jeremiah Elizabeths uncle and Jeremiahs children her cousins. Are you decended from Jeremiahs son George? Sorry I haven't quite got it worked out in my head yet - It can get so confusing.
it sort of blows my mind that without all these people I wouldn't be here, lol
Especially when I only live 20 miles away from where they all lived.
Have you found out where any of the Grantham family are buried? I haven't looked into this yet but they should be so close to me this definately my next job on my to do list. I haven't been able to find out when Elizabeth died - she may have married again?
Well thats my story - sorry it was bit long
Bye
