Hi Andrew, Your Subject heading is GRAINGER from Edinburgh (which is in Scotland) so I have had a look at the Family Search IGI http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true British Isles (instead of just England) and I think I may have found "your" John Walter and Mary Jane GRAINGER. There is a Mary Jane GRAINGER and a John Welles GRAINGER shown as the children of John GRAINGER and Jane. As this was transcribed from the parish records it is quiet possible that "Walter" became "Welles". You may have to find SKS, get out the LDS Films or pay a researcher to have a look at the St Nicholas, Brighton, Sussex, England parish records to try to confirm the spelling. Do you know of any other siblings of Mary Jane and John Welles GRAINGER? ================================================================================ MARY JANE GRAINGER Female -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Christening: 21 SEP 1838 St Nicholas, Brighton, Sussex, England (see http://www.stnicolas.standrewportslade.btinternet.co.uk/page8.html) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: JOHN GRAINGER Family Mother: JANE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source Information: Batch No.: Dates: Source Call No.: Type: Printout Call No.: Type: C013526 Film Sheet: ================================================================================ JOHN WELLES GRANGER Male -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Christening: 22 JAN 1843 St Peter, Brighton, Sussex, England -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: JOHN GRANGER Family Mother: JANE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Messages: Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the record.
