Grantham

[Footie_lass]

Hi all,

Looking at the Grantham family back to the 1700’s quite an interesting family so far. Seemingly lived at one point on “hole farm” kings Norton for a few generations. William Grantham was on the farm and I believe his farther Richard Grantham too (although he’s the point I’m stuck)

Thanks

I can see a couple of William Grantham's, father and son (the younger a farmer in Westheath 1881), ancestors of John Frederick Grantham (husband of Violet Arthur ?). The elder William's (b1818) father appears to have been a Henry. Henry's father may have been a Richard.

Primrose Hill Farm Hole or Holme Farm

Can anyone tell me any history about Primrose Farm (Kings Norton) previously known as Hole (Or Holme) Farm and why the name was changed? I'd also be keen to know anything about the Field Family who owned it etc.

When John Frederick and his sister, Charlotte Jane, were baptised, their father, John's, address was listed as Hole Farm.

John's address was also listed as Hole Farm for both his marriages, as it was for his sister, Mary Elizabeth, when she married.

And John's sister-in-law married a carter who was working there.
