Yes Jenn

Now I have found two people on GR researching Gilbert Grant born 1901 Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire. Not sure if Polly is a member so she can make contact with them. They may get a shock if they don`t know Gilbert has a connection still back in England.

Sometimes  you  just get luck  that is for sure.

I  do  note  thaton  the 1901 census Elvidge Grant is listed twice, at his home address and also Master on a vessell the "Agatha"

Didn't get far, saw you post again Jenn ...... he's in demand then Gilbert with 2 others on the case but what is GR please?  Just a thought, anyone noticed what year he arrived in Aus?  That would really clinch it.
