I am trying to trace my grandfathers family. The only details I have are that he said his name was William Granville Bridson, born on the 2nd Dec 1860 (in Truro) near Douglas on the Isle of Man. We know that he had at least 2 sisters called Cisily and Phoebe. His burial record states his birthyear as 1858. We can find one record on IOM that is close - of William Cesar Bridson - correct birthdate, different middle name. Our grandfather was working on a ship (the Austral we think) when he met Gran, went back to IOM to see family, then came back out and married her.
