I am interested in your route back in time to Thomas John Grinyer 1811 (possibly of Ovingdean near Brighton) for it is highly probable that a relative of mine married his son Thomas John Grinyer junior (an upholsterer) bapt Brighton 14 Dec 1834.
My relative was Emma Clifton, baptised in St Nicholas Brighton 6 Sept 1829, who was living 42 Montpelier Street Bton 1851 and married Thomas John Grinyer Junior at St Pancras London on 26 April 1857. In the 1881 census, their surname was mistranscribed in the indexes as GRAINGER.
I am presuming your Thomas John Grinyer (1811-18 Oct 1891) was an accountant that also reported for the Brighton Examiner newspaper.
If so, the following should prove useful.
Place of baptism: St Wulframs Church, Ovingdean, Brighton, Sussex.
Place of death 1891: 8 Richmond Place, Brighton, Sussex.(vol 2b page146)
AKA GRENIER / GRINYER
1841 Living at Borough St. Brighton.
The family information sent me by another member of the Grinyer family is however far more extensive than recently quoted by others. That says his children were: Sarah 1831, William 1833, Thomas 1834, Hannah 1836, George 1839, Henry 1841, Charles 1843, Harriet 1847, Benjamin 1849, Martha 1850 and Emma 1856.
I am however, unsure of the total correctness of the above list of children, for you have to accecpt that there were occasions when Hannah of Worthing (who died in 1890) was also known as Anna Maria.
