This is just a stab in the dark without dates or places but the names fit: 1881 census 24 Stanley St., Battersea, Surrey Henry Gratton, head, 47, commercial clerk, born Surrey, Richmond Catherine L., wife, 45, born Middlesex, London Emma, dau, 17, born Surrey, Peckham Henry, son, 13, scholar, born Durham, Sunderland Ada M., dau, 11, scholar, born Sunderland Edward C., son, 9, scholar, born Sunderland Walter G., son, 6, scholar, born Surrey, Lambeth Florence K., dau, 3, born Lambeth Update, boy, did I miss the boat on that one, there were no responses when I started typing!

This MIGHT be Henry's birth on the IGI which gives his father's name.:- HENRY GRATTON Pedigree Male -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: Christening: 04 SEP 1833 Saint Mary Magdalen, Richmond, Surrey, England Death: Burial: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: JOHN GRATTON Family Mother: MARTHA You could check this against the marriage certificate to see if the father's name is the same. UPDATE - this looks like the same as the family Helen found in 1841. Kath. x

hi sophie, thats him i know that much but cant get any further any ideas on what else i could do thanks very much for your help. x

Henry Gratton married Catherine Lucy Mills in july qtr 1859 Richmond Surrey. On 1861 he is in Wandsworth Surrey as follows; Henry Gratton 1835 born Richmond occ; draper Catherine Gratton 1836 born St James London Catherine Gratton 1860 born Wandsworth Catherine Mills 1808 born Hexton, Herts....mother in law John B Gratton 1846 nephew. They are on all the following census. Do you want all these?

Do you think this is his marriage:- Name: Henry Gratton Year of Registration: 1859 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep District: Richmond Sry County: Surrey Volume: 2a Page: 359 On the same page is Catherine Lucy Mills. If you haven't got the marriage certificate, then buying it would give you Henry's father's name. Kath. x
