Hi Keith
Don't know if you've already had answers to your request - Robert Grief (1773) & Nazareth Thorpe (1776) were my paternal 4XGr.Grandparents.

Robert was born c.1773 Shouldham and died there in 1839 s/o Robert Grief b. c.1750 and Mary Harvey b. c.1752.
Robert (1773) married on 21.12.1797 @ Shouldham Nazareth Thorpe bp. 22.12.1776 Shouldham and died there 9.1.1840 - buried 13th January. d/o William Thorpe bp. 3.3.1729/30 Shouldham and Elizabeth Russell bp. 19.11.1732 Shouldham.

"Nima" is probably "Nirra" - Nazareth is also known by Nirra.

Hope this helps.

Vielen Dank. Ich kenne das online Familienbuch bereits. Leider konnte ich Monika bisher noch nicht ausfinding machen. Ich nehme an, dass sie in Amerika geheiratet hat.

he married eliza and had 9 children of which james was the 6th

james married christina rooney and had 8 children of which my grandma was 2nd

there are I believe 7 surviving edna,freda,jean,james,george and norman - all of whom live in and around middlesbrough,stockton apart from norman who is in south africa

Re: Shernbourne Griefs

2005-01-17 21:12:40Z

Forgot to say Chris, My Grandparents were Thomas and Sarah (Yallup) Grief and they had nine children, my Mother was the middle one and the last born in Norfolk. Grandad came to Middlesbrough to work on the docks probably encouraged by his cousins, including Edward who went to Middlesbrough around 1888. He previously worked on the docks at King's Lynn.The family were Thomas, (Known as Mr Music and mourned by his junior philharmonic orchestra when he died) Jack, Leonard, Florence (her daughter lives in Middlesborough and is visiting me this week) Doris, (my Mum) Gladys, William, Edna and Raymond.Raymond's wife is still alive and living in Middlesborough.
If you would like to contact me by email I would be very pleased.

Re: Shernbourne Griefs

2005-01-17 20:56:12Z

Hi Chris, Would you believe!! I was born in Middlesborough, daughter of Doris Evelyn Susan Grief, of Elliot Street, (now demolished) and Matthew(Terry) Mc Manus.I know there are quite a few Griefs in Middlesborough and I have cousins still there. I was born in Borough Road, 5th July 1939, just before the war broke out. By the age of two I was living in Malton North Yorkshire and that is where the family stayed. So it looks like we are cousins, how delightful!!

Re: Shernbourne Griefs

2005-01-17 15:30:40Z

Hi Olive

glad to see you are still searching

my line may help you on the branches rather than going back further - my grandmother (paternal) is eliza may grief her father was james grief 1883 b middlesbrough his father was edward grief b1849 shernboune his father was john greif/susan rudd b1815 and his father was william grief b1771 shernbourne/m mary wright

these have been done via census etc and are currently not verified - 3 of the grief brothers moved up to middlesbrough to work in the iron industry , 1 later returned to norfolk with his family
there are now many griefs in middlesbrough most I beleive descended in some way from the 2 bothers that remained

Re: Shernbourne Griefs

2005-01-16 19:00:15Z

Hi there, I haven't been on Ancestry for ages, I do hope you haven't lost hope. My GGGGgrandfather was William Grief, married Mary Wright at Heacham on 29th May 1800, they had two sons William and James or John.The latter may have married Susan Rudd?They lived out their lives in Shernbourne. Hope this helps, it is as far back as I have been able to go, now I am stuck but visiting Norfolk in May this year (2005)

Re: Annie Beatrice Grief Of Liverpool England

2004-08-20 15:25:42Z

If you check the 1881 census for Nova Scotia at

www.familysearch.org.

you should find that Annie was b Liverpool Nova Scotia.
Her father James was English, but the rest of the family was b Nova Scotia.

Louis Grief-Spanish American War Veteran

2000-05-08 19:58:34Z

Hello,
I have absolutely no Grief lineage. But, what I do have is disturbing information regarding people auctioning off a wonderful photo of a gentleman apparantly named Louis Grief taken at his "camp" during the Spanish American War. I personally would rather see these old photos returned to their rightful families rather than used for profit, but alas tis a varied world we live in. Anyway..I have saved the digital image to my computer...so if anyone would be interested in that at least...you would be welcome to it...free of course...simply email me and I will be happy to forward it on. I do hope that someone out there will be helped by this pic...
