• Notes

  In his youth Peter was found guilty of a number of offences such as: "George Willis and Peter Grantham on the 19th of November 1830 at Cottingham did damage and destroy certain flower roots and other vegetables then growing in the garden of George Greaves of Cottingham". Sentenced to two months hard labour, or to pay the sum of ten shillings, and a further sum of ten shillings costs. "In 1831 Peter Grantham travelled alone when he was found guilty of assaulting a fellow labourer, Joseph Jenkinson of Beverley, for which he was awarded 3 weeks hard labour in the House of Correction. In the same year, William Grantham was also transported to Van Diemens Land for stealing poultry." "Peter Grantham of Cottingham did on the 7th day of May 1832, in company with some other persons whose names are unknown did wilfully and maliciously enter a field at midnight, and did climb the timber trees growing therein and feloniously stole and carried away a number of rooks, whereby the branches of the said trees were broken and much injured, the said field and trees being in the said Parish of Cottingham." Sentenced to a fine of 10 shillings and a further 10 shillings for costs awarded to Franklin Holland, the owner of the trees. Peter and his family were ordered to be removed from the Parish of Cottingham to Weel, (liberty of Beverley) on the 12th of January 1833, but the order was quashed.
