I have a few names that I am looking for, as far as a I know they are all brothers and I'm wondering if anyone might be able to suggest the best way to look for them?

Cecil Grigg married Edith ? born c189? - Cecil was a Will Writer/Carpenter.

Edward Grigg - son Stanley
Frank Grigg married Mabel (no children)
Charles Grigg - 2 children Kathleen and Christopher, Charles was a Policeman.

Im not 100% sure if they are brothers of Cecil or Uncles. They are from the Hampshire area, possibly Greywell.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Thanks
Michelle Grigg

Hi Nicola,

I found that, and as it was the only Cecil Grigg thought that might be the correct person.

I tried to look through census reports but was unable to find him, or even a link to the others listed?

Regards

Hi Shirley

This is my problem, I don't have any, I know that Edith and Cecil had a son Victor whom I have spoken to, he was the one that gave me the other names, but as he is in his 90's he's unsure of dates of any kind.

I am trying to find the link to his family and mine as they are related, but because we don't have 1911 census yet it's so hard.

I need to find Cecil's father, this may then give me the link I need.

Michelle Report 7 Oct 2008 11:49

LOL, Christine, isn't there just, my family were amazing breeders....which has made things quite easy tracing my family tree.

All of the Grigg's you have posted are related in one way or another to my family.
And not one from the Cornwall/Devon area either, which must be a first...lol!

Yes that's Victor.
I found those details so was trying to find his father Cecil on census returns, but had no luck.

Lord this is so confusing...lol!
He stated that Kathleen and Charles children of Charles were his cousins.

I have photo's of Kathleen and Charles gravestones which another family member of mine gave me, Charles was known as Chum and died in 1997. Their parents died when they were both quite young and were brought up by their Grandmother, which I have been able to confirm as correct due to a book on Greywell called Mr Greywell's Village.

Apart from that, it's about all I know.
