Hi Adrian

I know you put this post on quite a while ago, just wondered if your still needing any help. My maiden name is Grange and am related to Margaret Batty Boyd and Richard Grange. My Granparents of the Granges are Richard whitley Grange, Smith Grange, Richard Sharp Grange.

I am also a bit stuck on richard sharpe and elizabeth Grange born around 1800. For some reason I had an ancestry tree stating they were born in Normandie in France. If you have any info on this I would be really grateful. I have loads of Granges in my tree and have found a few of the Batty's war memorials when they died in the first world war. If yo are still interested I can invite you to my tree as it looks like we may even be related

Kind Regards
Nicki

CarolineFaulkner — 2009-02-07 14:42:45Z

I am trying to find information on William Grange born in Middleton, nr King's Lynn, Norfolk about 1798. His mother was Mary Groom and his father William Grange, both from Middleton. William 1798 was married to Mary ? and it is her I am particularly interested in as I have drawn a blank on her single name, etc.

Has anyone got any info on Elizabeth Grange born c 1800 who I believe was born in Sure, Orne, Basse-Normandie in France. She married Richard Sharpe who I believe was also from France. They are my GGGG Grandparents. I am unsure how to get info from France.

Hello, I'm looking for information about my great grandfather David E Grange. He arrived in New York in 1904 at the age of 20. I am trying to find information on his parents or siblings or where in Scotland he might have been from. He was born in 1884.

Re: Grange Fanily Scotland to Canada

I have a David Grange from Scotland to New York. Born 1884. I have nothing before he moved to New York at 20 years old.

susanly2001 — 2009-01-14 16:26:04Z

Hi Bob,

Sorry if I caused some confusion. The reply I originally sent was to redgrange. His father and my grandmother were first cousins. From the messages where he referred to Agnes as his sister I knew it was either him or his brother.
The John Grange I am referring to was born in 1858. He is my great grandfather. My grandmother, Annie was the 2nd daughter of his first marriage to Annie Marshall.
Hope this helps to lessen any confusion. It happends easily since the names repeat each generation in the traditional fashion.

Susan: I can not place you in my line. My G.Mother, Mary, was the daughter of John Grange (b. Ireland 1849) & Mary Davis. John's father was James (b. Ireland 1826), James's father was Hugh (b. Ireland 1805). If you fit into any of this line let me know - I was in Templepactrick, N. IR this spring and have pictures of the church where James & Agness Graham were married.

Milwaukee to Nebraska Granges

jeozeran — 2008-11-12 05:39:29Z

There are several older messages scattered around this board about the Hoadley-Grange clan that began in Milwaukee with Richardson Grange, Sr. (b. 1817 in Yorkshire, England) and his wife Elizabeth Hoadley.

John Scafe and Richardson H. were two of their sons.

John Scafe (sometimes called John Hoadley Grange) m. Gertrude Smith raised several children around Valentine, Nebraska, including my grandmother, Catherine Ruth Grange. My mom is the next-youngest of her 8 surviving children.

Sorry if this post seems redundant throughout a few threads on this board, but I would like very much to find other researchers who can help fill me in on this part of my family!

Re: x? Frank? Grange born Dec. 1862 Indiana

2004-07-10 11:49:14Z

I'm sorry, but will you restate that?

On my tree, I have a Frederick Clarence Grange, born in Maryland in 1859, who was married to a Anna E Warner, born in 1860 in Ohio; married in 1878. These could be the couple you're looking for (and maybe my info is wrong.) Maybe her second husband was a Davis, thus giving her a stepson of about that age...

Close enough to check it out... Please call me if you feel it's a match or have any other questions...

Don't they make a Red Grange reference in Citizen Kane?

Re: New Website with a lot of Granges

2004-03-08 14:17:04Z

So are they less worthy because they're not Harolds from Ireland? ;)

Sorry, I didn't recognize how few Granges there were on that site. I mean, I consider my mother's side of the family "the Grange side," but I guess there aren't enough boys, and we haven't found enough history to have a lot of people with that last name.

Re: New Website with a lot of Granges

2004-03-08 03:45:34Z

Your short list contains no Granges from Ireland or the Grange line of Harold "Red" Grange.

Re: Harold Edward "Red" Grange

2004-01-29 17:58:49Z

I ran into that very same info Bob, frustrating huh? I'm not sure how great any of the census takers were in the 1st place. So here we are, back to the original dilemma, I still haven't figured out if we are really connected to him or not. I'm starting to think my husband's grandmother was just name dropping to try and impress me. Her mother-in-law May Grange was reportedly from Wisconsin b.abt 1890 according to the Census. And I can't seem to make the leap to any of Red's relatives that I've found so far. Any better luck?

Re: Harold Edward "Red" Grange

2004-01-29 17:28:35Z

The auto bio was a "as told to" an author. Ira Morton was that author. The quote you have is from the first page, 2nd paragraph.

Red's father did not help genology searching - 1930 census in LA lists him, with Harold E., as Grange, Lyle M. The 1920 census in Weaton, IL lists him, with Harold E. and Gaeland, as Grange, John N. L. His ages were listed as 60 and 50, respectively, but the 1870 census of Sullivan Cnty, PA (site of Forksville) list a John N. as a 2 year old - he should not have been listed or listed as less than 1 years old. Are they all the same person? Who knows for sure.

Re: Harold Edward "Red" Grange

2004-01-29 16:14:20Z

My information did come from his biography, but it was "as told to" to another man... can't put my finger on it right now. He was also getting to be advanced in years by the time of the interview, his memory may have been clouded or the writer may have misinterpreted...? Human error is always the biggest stumbling block in this kind of research, at least, that has been my experience... At best, quite a bit of it is based on educated guesses. That's part of the whole process, right?

Re: Harold Edward "Red" Grange

2004-01-25 17:10:30Z

Are these sources public?. I can not find anything past 1850.

x? Frank? Grange born Dec. 1862 Indiana

TATWHARTON — 2006-10-27 03:18:25Z

I am puzzling over whether his 3 Davis stepsons noted in the 1900 census for Lisbon, Ransom county, North Dakota, might include J. Albert Davis who was born abt 1878 in New York. Says x? Frank? Grange's father was born in New York, his mother in Ohio and that he had been married for 9 years.
Is anybody researching Grange who has a stepson named J. Albert Davis?

Re: William Grange from Ireland

shillato — 2008-05-20 02:53:12Z

I guess my last reply never made it. James & Anges arrived the US in April 1851 on the Annadale. They had one son born aboard ship. They settled in Dearborn County, IN. Their oldest son John was my Grandmother's Grandfather. I have alot of detail from 1851 on if you are interested. Please contact me direct at shillato@cwnet.com.

I will be visiting Belfast this June to try to find actual docs. James and Agnes were married in the non-subscribing Presbyterian in Templepatrick (I have the marrage record)and there are other good records in the PRONI.

jeozeran — 2008-11-11 02:39:13Z

I hope you're still on this forum after all these years, cousin.

My grandmother, Catherine Ruth Grange (Klatt) was born in Valentine, Nebraska in 1900 to John Scafe Grange (1855-1944)and Gertrude Smith (1865-1952). She died in 1993 in California. My mom was the next-to-youngest of her 8 surviving children.

John S. is the son of Richardson Grange, b. 1817 in Yorkshire, England. I don't know when he came to the states, but he married Elizabeth Hoadly (1823-1914)in Milwaukee in December 1845. His long obituary (1902) describes him as an early and important Milwaukee pioneer.

Richardson Grange is the son of Joseph Grange and Elizabeth (according to my grandmother) or Margaret (on other trees I've seen) of Yorkshire. I've never pursued this line.

Elizabeth Hoadley is the daughter of William Hoadley and a woman named Hopwood, also of Yorkshire. I haven't researched this, either.

Gertrude Smith Grange is the daughter of William Smith and Mary Gordon... names almost impossible to research...

Harold "Red" Grange was a famous football hero in the 20s and 30s. His line goes back to Yorkshire, England - it can be fully documented via US census records from 1850 to 1930. My line, via my grandmother, is from N. Ireland.

The question is - is there a common root for these lines?

Can anyone out there help with info on my gxgrandfather John possible second name Stuart, born 1862 in Summer Bridge, Hartwith. Possible parents were John Grange and Sarah Walker. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Maree

Re: Harold Edward "Red" Grange

squirrel179 — 2004-11-01 12:56:20Z

I agree that a son would know his father's nationality or descent. I find this odd that Red's autobiography would say this. Yes, all of my information is carefully sourced. I have gotten a lot of it from people who are much closer to Red's line than I am. The only explanation I can think of is that Red is refering to his father's mother's heritage (Eliza Vough) - actually I don't know where the Voughs came from.
Beats me!

Re: New Website with a lot of Granges

squirrel179 — 2004-11-01 12:56:20Z

I can trace Red Grange's Grange (paternal) line back to 1757 in Yorkshire.

Re: Harold 'Red' Grange

ajahuffs — 2004-02-13 22:36:28Z

my husband Jason is some relation to Red also but I haven't been able to get much cooperation from that side of the family on doing any research. Jim are you by any chance related to Linda, Patty, and Yvonne Teeter? If so please contact us as Jason would be very interested in chatting with you. Our email addy is ajahuffs@suscom.net. If I find any info on the Red Grange area I'll be sure to post on here so we can all share the info.

Thanks,

Re: Harold Edward "Red" Grange

ShirleyGrange97 — 2004-01-23 22:56:12Z

I don't know why it is written in Red's autobiography that his father was of scotch-irish extraction. It is quite well established that Red was the son of John Nelson Lyle Grange (1868-1954) and Sarah "Sadie" Sherman (1876-1908/10). J.N.L., known as "Lyle", Grange was the son of John Wesley Grange (1823-1896) and Eliza Vough (1834-1910). Maybe Eliza was from a scotch-irish family, but John Wesley Grange's father was John Grange "Jr" who was born in Yorkshire, England in 1779, as was his father before him.
These Granges were definitely from Yorkshire, not Ireland.

Re: William Grange from Ireland

redgrange1 — 2008-05-06 20:45:22Z

William Grange was my uncle. My father, Robert came to the US from Ireland a few years after Uncle Willy. Margaret, was my cousin. I believe I have some pictures taken with her that was taken at an Orange Man's outing somewhere in Massachusetts. I attended Uncle Willy's funeral in Quincy along with his daughters Agnes and Babe. Margaret and my sister Agnes were life time friends.

I have a book, The Granges of Ireland that lists, William, Margaret,also lived in Quincy,Robert, John and Jane as children of Robert (1853) and Agnes Hume Grange

Re: William Grange from Ireland

redgrange1 — 2008-05-09 18:58:43Z

Further to my last memo I note in the book that James, son of Hugh (1805)was born in 1826 and Married Agnes Graham age 21, in Templepatrick Presbyterian Church on 2nd of January in 1846. She was the dauaghter of John Graham, a farmer living at Ballyhartfield near Dough. Robert, brother of the bride was the best man while Elizabeth, James's sister, was brdesmaid. No further particulars of James can be traced in this district. It is remarkable that although James was the eldest member of the family, William fell heir to the Thornditch farm and Robert the second son was placed in Castle farm. As this was the period of the potato famine in Ireland when so many people (about two million) left the country for other lands, principally the U.S.A., it may have been that James and Agnes emmigrated. From what I can tell James was in the seventh generation of Granges and his ancestry can be traced back to 1624. Note" that my father, Robert, was of the 8th generation. From what I can detect your Grange, James, was the brother of my GG Grandfather Robert . Hope this helps you with your search?

Re: William Grange from Ireland

redgrange1 — 2008-05-09 18:22:02Z

The book, The Granges of Ireland, was compiled by R. T. Grange (1896) from Ballyclare. Robert was a seargent in the British army and, my cousin, Robert Baxter, obtained the book for me. Robert Baxter's mother was a Grange, my father's sister and Robert got the book for me when I was in Ireland in 1977 on a visit. Robert passed away a few years ago so I'm not sure how to advise you about obtaining one.

Re: William Grange from Ireland

bobs10 — 2008-05-07 23:26:57Z

My Granges, James & Agness Graham,) came from Templepatrick, County Antrim in 1851 with children John, Mary, William (born aboard ship), and having Indiana born Marjory, James, William Hugh, Margaret, and Ino.

Your posting mentioned an book called The Granges of Ireland.
Is this a family book or available through some printing house?
