Biography

Born:

Based on her age at death, Ann was probably born between 1787-1789. I found records of several Ann Graysons born in 1781, 1783 and 1794, all in Bolsterstone (where they married). None of the dates fits with her calculated year of birth (from her headstone).

But possibly:

1. 1781 dau. of John and Mary GRAYSON of Royd, farmer (she would have been ~29 when she married Gamm, who was 22)^[1]
2. c. 25 Dec 1783 dau. of Joseph and Mary GRAYSON of Whitwell, labourer(she would have been ~27 when she married Gamm, who was 22)^[2][3]
3. 1794 dau. of Abraham and Mary GRAYSON of Bolsterstone, farmer(she would have been ~16 when she married Gamm, who was 22)^[4]

I thought I found a record of a daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth GRAYSON of Eldercliffe, farmer (Title: Chapelry Transcripts of Bolsterstone and Midhope, Film Number: 1595068 Item 7 Abbrev: Ronksley Collection Publication: FHL) but cannot relocate it. The location Eldercliffe would be meaningful.

Married 26 Dec 1810 to Gamm

Children

1. Elizabeth Brearley (1813),
2. John Brearley (1815),
3. Benjamin Brearley (1818) and

Died 19 Sep 1824^[5]

Buried 27 Sep 1824. St Mary, Bolsterstone. ^{[6] [7]}
