Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 145 Send Message	Hi if there is anyone in Grimsby/ Hull who could check a few records of local workhouses I'd really appreciate it. Trying hard to find him! Naomi

Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 145 Send Message	Yeah that's my thoughts too - but the problem is I've looked everywhere for him and I can't see anything at all...it's driving me mad I think! Thanks for your help Naomi

Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 145 Send Message	yeah he was still alive - and she remarried in a different part of the country! He wouldn't have know being deaf and blind I suppose!

Member Since: January 2006 Posts: 330 Send Message	Hmmm..so he was still alive - my death was a guess based upon age & locality.

Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 145 Send Message	Well we know he was born in 1860 Yorks. and he was a fisherman registered deaf and blind!! In 1881 he was dwelling 15 Auboro St Scarborough, York, England. In 1901 at 182 Rutland Street Grimsby. No mention of the Stephen in any of our previous documents I'm afraid. Martha had 6 children before she even met George Morgan(s), then she had another 10! If he was deaf and blind and they had 6 children, they wouldn't have had any money and we are wondering if that's why she left him for a mayor in Wales!? Any ideas?

Member Since: January 2006 Posts: 330 Send Message	1901 census is on ancestry by the look of it but i can't be sure as i don't have access: 1901 England Census Name: Martha Grainger Spouse: Geo Birth: abt 1872 - city Residence: 1901 - township, city, Lincolnshire, England
Member Since: January 2006 Posts: 330 Send Message	Neil	Report	24 Oct 2007 23:51
Member Since: January 2006 Posts: 330 Send Message	Also - are you sure George is on the 1901 census? The reason i ask is that i can see this: Deaths Dec 1900 (>99%) Grainger George Stephen 31 Hull 9d 163 Hull is not very far from Grimsby!

Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 145 Send Message	aaahh! thanks for this wonder why she's not on the normal 1891 cenus then. Thankyou
Member Since: January 2006 Posts: 330 Send Message	Neil	Report	24 Oct 2007 23:45
Member Since: January 2006 Posts: 330 Send Message	In that case she is on the 1891 census as Martha Grainger as the Census was taken on 5th April (after the Marriage Registration Period). So from ancestry (sorry i dont have acess): Match quality: 5 out of 5 1891 Wales Census Census View Image Name: Martha Grainger Spouse: George Birth: abt 1872 - city, Pembrokeshire, Wales Residence: 1891 - township, city, Pembrokeshire, Wales

Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 145 Send Message	Yes - that's the first husband - who we have never been about to find a death cert for!!! They lived in Grimsby for 1901 census, but the house was empty in 1902. She then remarried George Morgans on 15th oct 1904 and we can'r find George Grainger's death anywhere. Any help on this death cert would solve a very big family search for him!!!
