General Notes:
Thomas Henry Grantham, our ggrandfather, was born on February 22, 1846, at Douglas, Isle of Man, and was baptized on March 22 in the small Anglican Church of Onchan.
He was the oldest child of Francis Grantham and Elizabeth Ellen Cox. After his father’s death, in 1851, he lived on the Isle of Man with his mother, where he received proper schooling for a young boy, probably with a tutor.
In 1867, he can be traced to Plymouth and then Sidmouth, co. Devon. The records indicate that his sister Elizabeth Frances Grantham (1847-) married John Makins, date unknown. On the marriage certificate with her second husband, George Southwell, fruit merchant, she is described as a widow, living at 31 Hart St., London.
The marriage was celebrated in the small historic church of St.Martin-in-the-Fields, now in the heart of London. Unfortunately, we have no more details of her life.
Noted events in his life were:
• Residence: Isle of Man.
• Emigration: to Canada, 1884.
Thomas married Catherine BUTTEMER on 8 Jul 1869 in Sidmouth, Devonshire, England, United Kingdom. (Catherine BUTTEMER was born on 15 Jul 1847 in Surrey, England.)
