I've seen your other post Tom trying to track them down post their marriage. No sign of Elizabeth Shearer/Grant's death in Scotland which makes it difficult to track their movements past their marriage year.

The 1911 census when released might give you a clue as to where they were then if still in Scotland. What were Elizabeth's parents names and mother's maiden name? You could try searching for births on SP post 1908 with her parents' surnames and Grant.

Even if there is something there on births, it won't help you with their death details unfortunately. If they died outside of Scotland, it will be hard for you to find this information unless you can find someone related to them or who has them on their tree  Undecided

I've just checked on the FreeBmd (covers England and Wales) for births of Grant children with mother's maiden name as Shearer (this additional info is included on entries from late 1911) and can't see any entries on there.

Thanks Monica, her mothers maiden name was mary waugh, i am beginning to think they maybe emigrated or could they have split up and remarried some one else, its a bit of a mystery.

 Wink I did check for a possible divorce here www.nas.gov.uk/onlineCatalogue/ which does include divorce action by parties but couldn't easily see anything there either unfortunately.
