Grint
« on: Saturday 16 May 09 13:19 UTC (UK) »

Hi

I'm researching brothers who were killed in action during World War 1, both whom lived in Cornforth County Durham and both of whom served with Durham Light Infantry.

They are Fred and Robert Grint, sons of George Grint,  born in Norfolk. George was the son of Thomas and Ellen Grint

What I would dearly love to find is a photograph of Fred and Robert. With Grint being a relatively unusual name and kinship likely to have been retained in Norfolk I wonder if anyone may be related and by some remote possibility have a photograph in their possession. All links here in County Durham, have drawn a blank.

I live in hope.

There didn't happen to be any other Grint photo's did there?  Cheesy

I have a Grint family in my tree from Cornforth, Charles Robert Grint born 1865, I believe he was George's brother.

Hi

The Grint brothers are my dad's great uncles and he has been trying to track down a photo for a couple of years.  Is there any chance of getting a copy of it.

Thanks

Hi

Robert Grint's service number is 74114 and Fred's is 22/181 - both DLI.  Luckily both their service records have survived and make interesting reading.

Hi

The Grints in my family do orginate from Norfolk, but from the research done so far, I can't see any connection with the names you gave.

Thanks

Bob
give me some names and details and I will see  if there are any matches,  they originated from Amsterdam and I have a will  dated 1460 from
N. burlingham. The  Grints  seems to have spread  with the Herring fishing industry in the 1940/50 's

was married to  Amy Easter who  had
sons   Walter,  George,  Fred,  Barney and  Charles my grandfather
daughters  Clara , Rachel,   and Lily

George my Gt. Grandfather was the son of  Thomas  Grint  b 1809 who married Mary Ann Fuller in 1837 at Lakenham  and lived at Norton Subcourse
they also had  sons Arthur b 1856, Thomas b 1836,  William b 1837 and Charlesb 1847. also  daughters Harriet b 1840 and Adelade b 1832
note it seems  2 children out of wedlock  is why they married away from their village
