Hi,
I am looking for the above relation. He is the younger brother of my deceased mother Joan Olive Grindrod B 1924, Devon. There Father was a James Henry Grindrod B 1887, Cornwall D 1957 Devon.

Any info on him or his family would be very helpful.

Martin,

Have you met any of his children, or have any knowledge that he married, or died young?

Thank-you

There was a Kenneth E Grindrod on ER with Helen in Plymouth.

This could be him:

Will be sorely missed by sons Kenneth and Les, daughters-in-law Pat and Annette, grandchildren Daniel, Samantha, Scott and Cameron.

I can see marriages for the sons, but not their births or his marriage.
So cannot confirm it is the correct person.

Hi Patchem,

Never met Kenneth myself but many moons ago have met his sister's my aunts,Betty and Doris, if it was the same Kenneth.

I am currently researching our family tree and Kenneth was hopefully the last living link to my mothers and their father.

Was this funeral this year?

If it is the correct family, I think the sons are Australian, and unfortunately one of them has just died:
