Grantham Bible

This is from the old Grantham Bible belonging to John Andrew Grantham and Sarah Jane Parmer Grantham

The page is headed births and is in two columns. My feeling is that Sarah Jane Parmer Grantham wrote these entries.

Note: Some of the name spellings are not what I have received from various family members including the spelling of James Ander Grantham. All the family files that I have seen spell his name was Andrew but I have listed these exactly as they are written in the bible pages that I have received.

This next section is also from the Bible but the hand writing is different. This records the marriage of Lizzie Aman to James Grantham and also records the births of their children. I will also record the deaths. These were recorded by Mavis Grantham (Mrs. Clint Grantham)
