Surnames: Grainger Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EEg.2ACIB/133.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Valeri, Thanks for the reply though our Annie Graingers are not the same person unfortunately, Grainger was Annie's maiden name and she married Frederick WD Martin in 1988, she was born in 1863 in Bathurst NSW Aust. I have found out recently that Percy Grainger was Annie's first cousin. As my father's cousin George, who I am now in contact with, knew him very well. I have no knowledge of any of the family other than Percy living in the U.S. although it is possible that we are related to Alfred Grainger, somehow! Annie (Grainger) Martin's parents Edward and Anne (Patterson) Grainger came to Australia,. from County Cavan in Ireland, she had four brothers Edward, William AB, Somerset R, and Stephen R (the youngest who I met) also two sisters, Charlotte and Adelaide. Alfred Grainger could have been another cousin and gone to the US.
