Josie - shirley,hampshire is where that particular family lived. i really do think you are going to have to buy some certificates for some events, or at lease work back more methodically , one name at a time, or we are going to get in one heck of a pickle! jess

This is a longshot but look at the visitor 1901 census View Record John Grainger abt 1871 Westminster, London, England Head Chertsey Surrey View Record Nora Grainger abt 1897 Reading, Berkshire, England Daughter Chertsey Surrey View Record Sarah Grainger abt 1872 Hastings Wife Chertsey Surrey View Record Elmey Jones abt 1885 Southampton Visitor Chertsey Surrey
