Text | Attached is a family tree for Richard Gravett which I have gleaned from family records. 2 Richard Isaac GRAVETT c. 21 Mar 1841 d. 20 Feb 1909 - Mother has written his birthdate as August 1st 1841 + Isabella Elizabeth PASKIN born July 15th 1846 Children: 1 - 3 Edith Amelia GRAVETT b. 29 Mar 1869 d. 9 Sep 1874 ( Bible shows 6/9/74) 2 - 3 Alice GRAVETT b. 6 Nov 1878 - (Alice Charlotte Gravett - born Nov. 6, 1872 - Married Jan Staats.) 3 - 3 Ernest Alfred GRAVETT b. 1874 - born June 3, 1874 - died 14 Sep 1947 4 - 3 Agnes Maud Gravett - born March 16 1877 - died Aug 31 1958 5 -3 William Henry GRAVETT b. 21 Apr 1872 (Born April 22nd 1878 - died Aug 1931) 6 -3 Arthur Bain GRAVETT b. 18 Feb 1881 - (born 17 Feb 1881 - died 19 Nov 1923) 7 - 3 Sydney Richard GRAVETT b. Abt 1873 d. 1937 (born Nov 17 1883 - died July 17, 1937) 8 - 3 Isabella May Gravett born July 15 1886 - died July 22 1940 9 - 3 Charles John GRAVETT b. 1875 d. 1963 - (born Jan 9 1891 - died March 11, 1963) 10 - 3 Arthur James Gravett - born May 22 1892 According to my records - Richard Martin Gravett who died in 1935 was the son of 6 - 3 aove - Arthur Bain Gravett. He drowned at Cinderalla Dam, Boksburg, and is buried with his father - Arthur Bain Gravett at Boksburg Cemetery. Grave 875 A - 3 Richard Martin GRAVETT b. 1883 d. 1935 3 Charles John GRAVETT b. 9 Jan 1891 d. Mar 1963 (This person ? 9 - 3 with wrong birthdate?) The following information has been gleaned from the family bible which was presented to Richard Isaac Gravett by his mother Charlotte Pickstock on August 1, 1862. With the information written by his mother re his birthdate - one could assume that the Bible was given to him for his 21st Birthday. There is some confusion in dates of his baptism and his mothers entry re his birthdate. Baptismal date as March 21st 1841 - which is 5 months prior to his birthdate recorded in the bible. The inscription reads: "R.I. Gravett. Salem. Presented to him by his affectionate mother. Aug. 1st 1862. Open thou mine eyes that I may behold wonderous things out of thy law." On the page labelled deaths there is an entry for William Gravett Senr. born June 21st 1803, Died Feb 26th 1872. On the page "Family Register" Parents names: Husband Born - Richard Isaac Gravett August 1st 1841 Wife - Isabella Elizabeth Paskin July 15th 1846 Married - March 30, 1868 On the page - Children: Edith Amelia Gravett - born March 29th 1869 - Salem - died Sept 6th 1874 - Newing Green, Salem Alice Charlotte Gravett - born November 6th 1872 - Salem date of death not known - she married Jan Staats Ernest Albert Gravett - born June 3rd 1874 - Salem( We always thought his name was Ernest Alfred Gravett - until we saw the entry in the bible) died 14th Sept 1947 Agnes Maud Gravett - born March 16 1877 - died 31 August 1958 William Henry Gravett - born April 22nd 1878 - died August 1931 - buried Varkfontein Arthur Bain Gravett - born Feb 17th 1881 - died 19th Nov. 1923 Sydney Richard Gravett - born Nov 17th 1883 - died July 17th 1937 Isabell May Gravett - born July 15th 1886 - died July 22 1940 Charles John Gravett - born Jan 9th 1891 - died March 11 1963 Arthur James Gravett - born May 22 1892 Parents of Isabella John Paskin - died 22 March 1877 Amelia Paskin died July 12, 1882 Of interest in the family bible are the births of three children with the surname Bain - the first I cannot decipher - but the first name ends in ....ette Bain born Mar 1874 then there is Arthur Edward Bain Born March 6th 1876 Alice Amelia Bain - born Jan 17th 1872 and on the deaths page are: Judith Jane Gravett - died June 10 1873 John Henry Bain - died 15th Oct 1874 John Paskin - died 22/3/1877 Amelia Paskin - died July 12 1882 Michael Edward Bain - died Feb 20th 1883 Richard Isaac Gravett - died Feb. 28th 1909 Isabella Elizabeth Gravett died March 11, 1917 Richard Gravett and his family lived on the farm Newing Green Salem during the 1870's and sometime during the 1880's moved to Rooi Kraal in the district of Heidelberg. The family appear to have continued to live there - My grandfather, Ernest Albert (Alfred) Gravett married Aletta Susannah Adriana Meyer and lived at Rooikraal until 1912 when he purchased a block of land at the corner of Central Ave and Fountains Road, Edenvale. In the mid 1920's he moved to Varkfontein where he died in 1947. His brother, William Henry Gravett also died at Varkfontein - and is buried there with Ernest's daughter Catherleen Wilemina My father, Richard Isaac Gravett migrated to Western Australia in 1927 - married - had four children. I am the third child - Sara Frances - known as Sally. Hope this is of interest to you Best wishes Sally Temby | |
