Hi Mary,
My name is Rod Grenell from Newcastle NSW Australia. I have been resarching my family history. is it possible to send me the article from the New Bedford Public Library? My great Great Grandfather was William Henry Grenell, a sailor, Born 1834 and was from America. I have a theory I am investigating to see if we have a family connection or not. It is all based around the death of your William Henry Grinnell, in 1864. From articles I have read it seems no record of his death is recorded and the cause of death not known. I have read he went back to sea. If you would like more details on my research please email me at
