by Lisa , New Zealand, Thursday, February 09, 2006, 11:01 (6855 days ago)

I have the following information for my Grindell/Grindalls and have included most of my assumptions and what they are based upon.i would love to hear from anyone one who add further deatil; confirm or disprove; or of course is related.

1.Thomas Grindell (a carpenter on his sons marriage cert) married Mary Ann
Jones 24 Feb 1845 Newland GLO
A Mary Ann Grindle death registered June 1847 monmouth Is this her??
??He may have remarried to Elizabeth Ruck Mar 1/4 1859 Monmouth
A possible death for Elizabeth is Sept 1/4 1885 Ross age 83 born about 1801
A poosible death for 1.Thos sen is june1/4 1874 Monmouth died age 75

*Thomas (Junior)I believe to have been born 1845-46 Im basing this on age at marriage 27 & age on shipping list 30 in July 1876

1851 census I havent found a definite 1.Thomas or*his son or Elizabeth Ruck
A possible 1.Thomas is Thomas Grindle b abt 1796 a lodger with the Keal
Family(head was a carpenter) of West Dean He was unmarried, a Sawyer and
born in Goodrich Hereford.
1851 cen Jane Ruck b 1834 little Morton, a tinplate cleaner is a visitor at her sisters place of work Sophia Ruckb 1841 Bicknor is a nursemaid for William and MaryAnn Cooper The sisters are indexed as Buck but it reads Ruck on the census pages

1861 census Ellwood, West Dean
1.Thos Head b 1801 Goodrich Herefordshire Mar a Carpenter
Elizabeth Wife b 1803 Glowstone Herefordshire carpenters wife
Jane Dau b 1836 Brelstone Marstow herefordshire unm
Sophia Dau b 1842 West Dean unm
*Thomas Son b 1846 West Dean a Coal Miner

The iteresting thing is that Thomas seems to also be enumerated with this
family. the familys do seem to have some connection as the Merrys daughter Sarah Ann is with Grindell family above:
Goodrich - Ross address Copper Hill Cliff Cottage
John Merry b1813 Head mar Ag Lab all born Goodrich; Ann Merry b 1815 Wife
mar ; Ellen daughter b 1841 Gen Serv; William b 1851 scholar; Elizabeth b
1856 scholar ; Emma Jones visitor age 4 b Whitchurch; 1.Thomas Grindle
Brother in law mar age 57 a carpenter (journeyman) and John James lodger age
21 Ag Lab born Goodrich

1871 census Clearwell, Ellwood, West Dean
1.Thos Grindall age 69 Head, Carpenter b Goodvich Herefordshire
Elizabeth age 68 wife b Goodvich Herefordshire
*Thomas age 27 son b West dean a coal miner unm
Sarah Price age 13 b Brecknockshire not attending school

*Thomas jnr married on 29 July 1872 at Baptist Chapel in Coleford to Ellen
Jones daughter of John Jones and Elizabeth Pinder. They left england with
two children Elizabeth - Bessie born 1874 died 19 jan 1884 and James b 1876
and had 4 more children Thomas b1878 William John b 1880 Charles b 1882
Helen Ada or Ida b 1884 and Mary b 1886 (My Great Grandmother) here in NZ
where they settled in Geraldine.

There was also a John Grindell b abt abt 1819 and died 1903 in Geraldine. I presume he was related to my Thomas. Although his spelling seemed to alternate between Grindall and Grindell.
