     Daniel Grainger was born cir. 1782 in Claines, Worcester, England.3 He married Mary Wright on 12 Jul 1807 Claines, Worcester; cert. reads No 822 Daniel Grainger of this Parifh a bachelor & Mary Wright of this Parish a spinster were married in this Church by Banns duly published this twelfth day of July in the Year One Thousand Eight Hunderd and seven by me Thos H Newport Minister. This Marriage was folemnized between Us Daniel Grainger Mary Wright (both signed) in the prefence of Joseph Grainger and Elizabeth Hunt(?) (I have assumed that all the children connected to this couple belong to the one Daniel GRAINGER and Mary shown on all their christenings, this is highly likely as the ages and places fit, but I have no proof, not having read the original parish film.)1,4,5 Daniel Grainger died cir. Dec 1864 prob. at ?Tythings, Whistones, Worcestershire, England; (assumes he is the Daniel reg. Worcester Dec qtr 1864 - others were wrong age, or wrong places, and the place fits with where he was in the 1861 census.)3,6,7 He was buried on 12 Dec 1864 at St George, Worcester, England; aged 81, Anglican.7
     Daniel appeared on the census of 1841 at Tything, Claines, Worcestershire, England, with Mary Grainger, as GRAINGER: Danl 55 builder, assumed wife Mary 52; Assumed children: Paulina 25 stay maker, Jane 20 stay maker, George taylor 15 ap, Charles 14; Richd Haycox 1. All b county (NB instructions to the enumerators for this census were to round ages to the nearest multiple of 5, children tended to have their ages accurately recorded - or at least as accurate as such things can be. These instructions were not always followed.)8
     Daniel Grainger appeared on the census of 30 Mar 1851 in the Tything of Whistones, Worcestershire, England, with Mary Grainger, enumerated as GRAINGER: Daniel, head, mar. 69 carpenter b Claines; wife Mary 68, stay maker b Sor. St Andrew; Dtr Palline?, unm, 41, stay maker; Son Charles 24 shoemaker, both b Claines.3
     Daniel Grainger appeared on the census of 1861 at 69 Private (?house?), Tythings, Ward of Claines, Par. of Whiston, Worcestershire, England, enumerated as GRAINGER: Daniel, 79, widower builder b Worcester; Dtr Pauline unm 50 stay maker; Son Charles 34 boot maker both b Claines.9
     Daniel Grainger and Joseph Grainger Claines, Worcester, in Jul 1807 were possibly related given that Joseph was a witness at Daniel's marriage. I am assuming that Joseph and Daniel are probably brothers, especially as the research Quen has access too agrees that there were indeed brothers Daniel and Joseph as sons of Thomas and Mary.5
