At this stage I have very little, Douglas died in 1977 and lived at Beaconsfield at the time. His son Ronald who passed away in 2006 was my father-in-law and I would like to know more about his family for my children

You can search here and will find the location of Ethel and Alfred at the Deloraine Cemetery.

Others are there too.

On the same site there is a Douglas Grundy with the death date you have mentioned. {1977}


However his age at death, 69 gives him a birth date of 1908.

This is apparently before the marriage if correct.

Hi,
Interesting bits Cando.

  Description: Headstone of Douglas GRUNDY . Died in 1977 aged 69yrs. Source: Beaconsfield General Cemetery 1St Anglican Section

 This is the full description of the MI.

Could/Would you change a child's given name after marriage?

I understand you can call yourself anything you like.  It is perfectly legal.  Changing your birth registration is something else entirely.

There does not seem time for 2 births in the time frame
