Dear Mr Palmer
First, a bit of fan mail – I came across your Wirksworth site about 
a week ago, having worked back to Charles Gratton (b. 1780) from 
other sources.
May I compliment you, not only on amassing such a large amount of data, 
but more particularly on casting it into such an easily searchable form? 
Tracing Charles back another three generations was incredibly 
straightforward.
Secondly, having drawn on your site, I feel I ought to feed something 
back, so I have included a ‘Pedigree of Gratton’ to show Charles’ 
descendants, if you want to include this at some stage. You may feel 
that as the pedigree moves fairly sharply from Wirksworth to London, 
and the Gratton surname is lost because of descent through the female 
line, it is only of passing interest. 
Besides Charles, and his career in the Peninsular War which you are probably 
familiar with, interesting characters include
1. His daughter Sarah, who contracted a bigamous marriage (Internet searches 
suggest that this was a “poor man’s divorce” in the 1800s)
2. His great-granddaughter Georgina Bell, who worked in the Eagle in 
City Road (as in ‘Pop goes the Weasel’) and almost certainly saw 
Marie Lloyd’s debut there
3. The husband (Clifford Pusey) of his great-great-granddaughter 
Ethel Godfrey who was present as an ambulance driver at the Battle 
of the Somme, and later drove with Allenby’s army from Alexandria to 
Tripoli.
I’ve left out generations with people still living, otherwise you would 
find me in generation 10 under Edward WILSON  & Betty PUSEY.
Best wishes, and once again many thanks
David Wilson
