Do not, please, continue on this thread.

I am the daughter of Patrick George Grant any information would be very helpful

Ruby .......

The problem is that this was a request made at the GR Booth at the Who Do You Think you Are show back in February 2014.

There appears to have been no further access by the requester, and we have no means of knowing who they were.

A dead end I'm afraid!

I have news on Patrick George Henry Grant

Isabella's death - again the informant might be a relative. Assuming the informant knew, it would give her marital status - widow, wife of etc.

Using the usual address, you ought to be able to track backwards and forwards on the historical ER. One hopes that they didn't move as historical ER can't be searched by name. No ER were compiled during WW2 1939-1945

Contact Medway Archives to see if they hold the historical ER - they may make a charge to look an address

Not seeing any records for the Grant/Fissenden daughter after her marriage - she may be living. If you were to purchase Alfred's DC, the informant might be a relative.

Edit - a person with her first name & first middle initial is listed on the ER 2002-2010 in Rochester. She may have died since then, moved, or opted out.

There are 2 Lancaster/Grant births registered in Chatham, in 1949 & 1954. Details can be found on FreeBmd.

The one born in 1949 is on the ER to 2013 with his wife, living in Rochester.
The one born in 1954 is on the ER to 2013 living in Gillingham with his wife and family

As we are unable to send you addresses by private message, search for them on 192.com and purchase credits to view the addresses. They do not appear to be listed in the BT phone book on-line. It's possible that the children of the son born in 1954 might have facebook accounts.

Although we have not been able to find further details of Patrick George Grant, his descendants may be able to assist you.

She seems to have been born in Kent.
