Hello lollyoz
Have you more details on where Grosvenor is in South Africa? 
Which province it was in at the time? 
Could it have been a suburb of a larger town, or perhaps the name of a farm, or a district?
cheers

Could it have been Port Grosvenor, or Grosvenor Point, or perhaps, "Grosvenor", the name of a ship?
Cheers

Thank you for your interest. I have since discovered that they were married in Gravesend Kent England. There is a family story that John & Caroline were in Sth Africa at the time of the Boer War and their children were born over there. I have found some of the births in England. Is there a way of checking on English servicemen serving in the first Boer War?

Hello lollyoz
Glad you found out their place of marriage 
Not sure about service records for English soldiers in the first Boer War, have you thought of contacting the M.O.T.H.S. in South Africa? they are a great ex-servicemens' organisations and keep excellent archives. 
Also you can search on NAAIRS for any of the children that may have been born in South Africa afterall.
Cheers
