My Grattans started with Edward Alport Grafton (christened 1773 Stourbrige,
Worcestershire) who later added Grattan to his name - possibly an earlier
family link.
Edward married Mary Hollinson in 1802, London. They moved to Liverpool and
had had 7 surviving children, including Thomas William Grafton Grattan (born
1814), a bookseller, who married Eliza Smith in 1842. One of their three
children was Walter Grafton Grattan, my great-grandfather. These Grattans
were London-based.
Any help?
