Hi Lezley, I cant help you with your GRAINGER family but may I add my GRANGER family to your collection. You never know when it may come up in your thinking. I have a John Granger who had a daughter Catherine (born abt 1844) in Newcastle on Tyne. She left England in !869 from Washington a village just south of New Castle on Tyne to come to New Zealand. She was my Great Grandmother Thanks for your time Regards Les Greer in Manukau City New Zealand -----Original Message----- From: lezleyf@hotmail.com <lezleyf@hotmail.com> To: GRAINGER-L@rootsweb.com <GRAINGER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, 18 January 2003 23:39 Subject: [GRAINGER] Annie Grainger >This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > >Surnames: Grainger/Martin >Classification: Query > >Message Board URL: > >http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EEg.2ACIB/133 > >Message Board Post: > >Seeking information on my Gr. Grandmother Annie Grainger she was born about 1875 and her family were from Durham, she had a brother named Steve Grainger and there was an Auntie Tussie Grainger who lived in Bondi in the first half of the 1900's. I don't know when Annie came to Australia, but she married Frederick William Martin in Goulburn NSW in about 1895 and had four children, Selwyn, Errol, Cathleen and Foster (my grandfather). They lived in Gundegai where my gr. grandfather was manager of the bank. I was always told that Percy Grainger (the composer) was a cousin. I would love to find out more about this side of the family. > > >==== GRAINGER Mailing List ==== >~~~~~~~~~~~~ SUBSCRIBE to the GRAINGER Mailing List ~~~~~~~~~~~~ >For mail mode: Send a message to GRAINGER-L-request@rootsweb.com In the subject line and message body write "subscribe" (without quotes).
