John Harry Grainger

John Harry Grainger (30 November 1854〔(John Grainger: A Brief Biographical Background ), Grainger Museum (University of Melbourne). Although Percy Grainger erroneously recorded 1855 as his father's birth year, a footnote states that 1854 is the correct year.〕 - 15 April 1917〔) was an English-born architect and civil engineer who emigrated to Australia in 1877, and the father of musician Percy Grainger. He designed 14 bridges, including the Princes Bridge in Melbourne.
== Family background ==
Grainger was born at 1 New Street, Westminster, Central London, into a Northumbrian family of builders, architects and engineers. His parents were John Grainger, a master tailor, and Mary Ann Grainger, née Parsons. He grew up in Durham. Percy Grainger related that he was told "Grainger Street" in Newcastle-on-Tyne was so called because an uncle or other relative had built most of the houses in the street.〔 John Grainger appears to have lived with an uncle while in England, but as his parents were not deceased—they are listed as still living in Westminster in the 1881 census—it is unclear why. Winifred Falconer, his companion later in life, wrote in an unpublished manuscript in the mid-1930s that he lived with an uncle who was an important influence on him during his childhood. The gentleman was a personal friend of the great theologian Cardinal Newman and the young Grainger "derived great pleasure as well as knowledge from listening to their discussions of the world’s affairs". His uncle was also interested in music and took Grainger to his personal box at the opera. Percy believed that his father received much of his education at a monastery school in France at Yvetot (between Le Havre and Paris).〔Allison, Brian (John Harry Grainger: Architect and civil engineer ) University of Melbourne Collections, 38 Issue 1, November 2007.
