Greetings from New Zealand. I am a newcomer to this list and am seeking living relatives of Andrew Gerrand , my first cousin 3 times removed. I am endeavouring to document the descendants of my four x great grandparents William Gerrand and Jane Coulthart. (To date these number 3000) Three of Andrews siblings died early from various causes. The remaining six siblings with their parents emigrated to Canada. I have documented this family in Canada and now wish to complete Andrew's family. Andrew moved to Birmingham sometime in 1871 or 1872. He married Margaret Stuart in Birmingham in 1872 and they had 8 children. Ann Augusta (also known as Annie T) b 1873, Margaret Janet (Maggie) b 1874, David Stuart b 1876, Andrew Roy Stuart b 1878, Janet Hyslop b 1880, Mary Stewart b 1884, Agnes Laurie b 1887 and Isabella Grace (Grace) b 1893. Andrew Roy Stewart Gerrand married Elizabeth Dendle about 1910 and had five children, Barbara E b1910 d 1913, Margaret V b 1912, Dorothy M b1916, Kenneth Roy Simmington b 1921 d 2005, and Beryl b 1928. Of these children I have ascertained that Kenneth Roy Simmington Gerrand married Betty Doreen Henson in 1953 and they had at least one son Andrew b 1957. Mary Stewart Gerrand married Francis R Banks in the 4th quarter of 1913 in West Bromwich. Their children were Rosemary S Banks born in the June quarter 1915 and Francis Banks born in the 4th quarter 1923, both in Solihull. Andrew senior for many years was in the drapery trade. In 1881 the family were living at 184 King Edwards Road, Birmingham. I shall be pleased to hear from anyone on the list who is related to any of the above or who could put me in touch with any descendants. Thanking you in advance.
