Hi John, Thank you for the information you provided on the census. I have looked at the parish registers for all of Lewes and some of the surrounding parishes, but without any luck. I have also looked at the Sussex Marriage Index and there is not a marriage for a Henry Granger any where around that time. So, at the moment, this is remaining a brickwall for me. If anyone else has any information for a William Granger born around1836, I would be grateful to hear from you. Alan Tubb member 1917 John Cain <cainjo1@postmaster.co.uk> wrote: Alan. In addition to your 1881 and 1891 census entries I can also (from Ancestry) find the following: 1871 Brighton, 3 Richmond Bldgs .....William Grainger 34 Grocers Porter b.Lewes .....Ancestry list him wrongly as GERINGER 1861 Brighton, 15 Richmond Bldgs .....William Granger 25 Grocers assistant b.Lewes 1851 Lewes St John the Baptist, Priory Street .....William Grainger 13 Labourer General b.Lewes .....Lodger with Burfield family 1841 St John the Baptist Southover (Lewes) Priory Street .....William Granger 5 b.Sussex .....Just he and James Ashby (age 25) in household - ??? If you are able to visit the SFHG Library, you may be able to find William's christening in the Lewes/Southover parish register transcripts and possibly Henry's marriage in the same transscripts or the Sussex Marriage Index. If you are unable to get to the Library,you may wish to e-mail Rosemary Appleton (with details of William's birth date/place) and write to Frank Leeson (with SAE, to see if Henry's marriage is in SMI). Details of both are on the inside back cover of the June issue of Sussex Family Historian. Regards, John Cain 10370
