In a different blog post in this blog - titled - Shyamala Ranga Bhashyam's Family - I have posted the following information -
Narayanaswamy Naidu and Thayamma (second wife) - mother of all eight children - stayed at 12 Mannar Pillai Street, Tiruchirapalli. had property at Taranoor and Manikund near Tiruchi. Main income was probably from rental properties. First wife - deceased. Thayamma was reported to be a trusting and generous person. It is said that the lawyer who used to fight their legal battles on their properties became so rich that he purchased their horse carriage (victoria) that belonged to Narayanaswamy Naidu. They handed over different properties to each of their children while they continued to stay at 12 Mannar Pillai Street.

and,
My paternal maternal great grandmother, Chinna Thayamma,
as she was called (for, the first wife was also named Thayamma, and she was
usually referred to as Pedda Thayamma), would go to Solanur, to take care of
the cultivation and agricultural plots. She would usually go accompanied by
Rangarajulu Naidu or Govindaswamy Naidu.
I have been trying to locate the places - Solanur, Taranoor and Manikund. Without success.
My paternal aunt, Pramila Jairam Naidu, informed me that Manikund is a place name for a location within the city limits of Tiruchirapalli, proximate to Mannar Pillai Street, and her grand mother, Thayamma, had properties in the area. It was about a "furlong from 12 Mannar Pillai Street". It was near "Gandhi Market". There was also a temple to Krishna that she referred to as "Krishnan-Kovil".
They lived in a house given to them by Thayamma. My grandfather, Shyamala Ranga Bhashyam, and grandmother, Rambai, lived in this house with their children. This was until Rambai's brother, Govindaswamy Naidu, got angry with the arrangement and wanted the house for his own, and asked them to vacate it. This caused a permanent rift between Rambai and her brothers, and she determined that she would not return to them. And, I guess, she never did.
Taranoor could also be a location within Tiruchirapalli of 1900 to 1950.
Solanur is supposed to be an agrarian hamlet, "more than five miles" from Trichy. This seems to be appropriate with Sathanur, along the Cauvery River, towards Thanjavur. I could be wrong. It seems she would cultivate paddy in this region, when my paternal aunt, Pramila Jairam Naidu was 11 years old.
If anyone can help me with these place names, please post as comments to this blog post or send me an email at bharatbhushan@yahoo.com
