General Notes: In an e-Mail from Ron Granger, received in February 2014, he comments:
Francis Smith Granger was chairman of the deacons at Broad Street Baptist
Chapel which closed down around 1900 and the membership transferred to
Mansfield Road Baptist Church. This closure was mainly due to the people
not living any more in the lace making area of Nottingham adjacent to Broad
and Stoney Streets.. Thank you Christopher for filling in missing
information on family I understood that Mary Hannah and Sarah Ann were lay
preachers at the Baptist church and I know around 1949 Sarah Ann was on the
membership roll. - but in a home.

The Baptist information may help folks i.e. Broad Street chapel was pastored
by Rev Robert Smith 1760 - 1829 when it opened in 1815 and Mary Granger
b1791 widow of John Granger b 1787 who died 1837 was a member George
Baldwin was church secretary in 1815 and James Smith 1764 - 1843 builder was
an Elder. Prior to 1815 Rev Robert Smith was pastor of Stoney Street
Baptist Church from around 1780/90 (still there I believe empty at
Plumptree Place) around this time Robert Smith baptised by immersion 32
people in the river Trent.. He had a long pastorate and he only left
Stoney Street due to a false accusation made by an assistant minister I
think his name was Cotton. When Robert Smith left Stoney St so all the
family members moved with him to Broad St and I guess James Smith had a hand
in the building work. Broad Street had a burial patch and around 1900
many Granger/Snith graves were moved to the General Cemetery. You must
remember in its early days Stoney St had around 400 membership and over 1000
Sunday school scholars - many at various preaching stations around
Nottingham. In fact Robert pioneered a number of the Baptist Churches
such as Front Street Arnold and others around the 1800s.
