Hi again :)

I just thought i might place a Grantham help line ad in one of the mags, I did one here, but im just waiting for it to be published.....

I was thinking a magazine targeted at woman around late tweties onwards....ya know those gossipy ones that go about the stars and stuff... LOL

Let me know what you think
Cheers

Hi Tisha
My great,great grandfather Thomas Grantham(born 1820) was the son of William Grantham/Sarah Winter.He married Elizabeth Powell at Ettington on the 5th April 1844.They had at least eleven children and seem to have moved around the area between Banbury and Shipston as the children are born in a few different villages.Cannot find a baptism for my great grandmother ,Dinah Grantham, or my grandfather Josiah Fisher.This does not mean they were'nt baptised as my father was baptised at home because they thought he would not live long.Perhaps they were all home baptisms and thats why no record exsists,just thought i would mention it as a possible reason you are having trouble finding baptism records.I have seen some lists on parish registers as "baptisms not bought to church"but i think it was down to the individual vicar to record them.
Thomas Grantham died on 26 December 1879 in Pillerton Hersey of pneumonia.Elizabeth moved to Aston ,Birmingham with Dinah who married my great grandfather George Edwin Fisher in 1882.I think Elizabeth died in Bromsgrove in 1907 but i have'nt sent for the cert.yet.Hope that explains how i am attached to the granthams and helps with your Thomas query.
Best wishes,Colin.

oh hey, one more question, off the topic.

Whats the popular womans magazine over there...? In NZ i would have to say its the womans day or the NZ womans weekly, this is where people place helpline ads, do you have the same thing over there?

Cheers
Tisha

I have to admit I am not the best person to ask about such mags, I only ever read them if I am in a waiting room or such, any spare money seems to go on more finding aids and transcriptions.  What are you hoping for from such an ad?  if it is to discover living relies in this country you might be better off with the local paper, and possibly the local family history or local history society

Hello,

I have some other information about the Grantham family.

Elizabeth Grantham born 1862- daughter of William and Sarah is my gg grandmother, She married  Henry McConnell (William Henry on some documents) in 1883 in Warwick.

I've been looking through the other posts about the Grantham family but my head has started to hurt now trying to figure it all out.

Thought this may be interesting to you
