Who was Sarah Ann Grenfield?
Apart from being the second wife of Anthony Charles Nathan I know nothing of her, her parents, where they were from, any siblings etc...

Anthony's first wife, Sarah Ann Harris had died in 1878 so assuming they married after that.
They had at least one child, Anthony Carroll Nathan born 1892 - (he served in WWI and his son Carroll Nathan died in WW2) - he became a barrister and solicitor and died 1966 in Wellington. He married Ngaere Bayley.

I dont even have birth or death data for Sarah Grenfield and finding anything is very difficult as sites looked at assume you are looking for Greenfield!!

Dear Paddy, Hi. Reminder that I am researching these families also. I have NATHANs etc in my tree due to marriage to Sarah Ann HARRIS. My late mother-in-law's ancestors were the HARRIS' from Tamerton Foliot Village, Plymouth, Devon, England.

Try looking for Sarah Ann GRANFIELD and let me know what you find. My little boy broke my NZSG cd-roms in half. Ouch. Can't do any more lookups.

Carrol Robert NATHAN born 18 Oct 1918 Taihape, New Zealand died December 1941, Middle East. No burial details known by me.

Hi,

I just did a quick search which is very interesting....

No GRENFIELD name at all is registered on the BDM Marriages.

No GREENFIELD name married any Nathan's.....BUT

SARAH ANN GRAUFIELD married ANTHONY NATHAN IN 1889

BIRTHS:

1891 Anthony Carroll NATHAN
Father: Anthony Nathan
Mother: Sarah Ann

BUT:

1875 JANE FRANCIS ANTIONETTE NATHAN
Father: Anthony Nathan
Mother: Sarah Ann

The plot thickens!!!

Happy Hunting - Historyhead
