Another possibility might be this one, born in 1919
GRANT, DONALD  JAMES     
Mother's Maiden Surname: FRANCIS 
GRO Reference: 1919  D Quarter in WEST HAM  Volume 04A  Page 41

He might have had a twin brother Maxwell (same GRO birth details) who died the following year.
So the parents seem to be Maxwell Grant and Ann Caroline Francis, who married in Woolwich in 1902.

Did Maxwell remarry to Lilian Warner in Woolwich in 1930?

And could Lilian be the mother of Iris?
WARNER, IRIS  MARY     
Mother's Maiden Surname: SIMPSON 
GRO Reference: 1921  J Quarter in WEST HAM  Volume 04A  Page 430

Marriage, Dec 1915 West Ham 4a 1031
Frederick A Warner + Lilian Simpson

Death, Dec 1927 West Ham 4a 91
Warner, Frederick Alexander
Age 45

From the free index to 1921, somewhere in West Ham, we have
Frederick Warner, born 1883, Hoxton, London
Lily Warner, born 1895, West Ham, Essex
Noreen Warner, born 1915, West Ham, Essex
Lily Warner, born 1917, West Ham, Essex
Iris Warner, born 1921, West Ham, Essex

There is a birth of a Frederick Alexander Warner in Shoreditch in 1882.

1939 register has, in Woolwich
Maxwell Grant, born 1875
Lillian Grant (later Isaacs), born 1895
And a redacted entry

Electoral registers show them at 8 Winchcomb Gardens, SE9

If there is any truth in this idea it would make Donald and Iris step brother and sister?

Lilian Grant married Samuel G. Isaacs in Woolwich, June qtr 1944.
On the 1945 electoral register, she is still at 8 Winchcomb Gardens, SE9, with a Warner!
Lillian Isaacs
Samuel G Isaacs
Lily E Warner

1948 electoral register, Woolwich
8 Winchcomb Gardens, SE9
Donald J Grant
Iris M Grant
Gordon K Grant
Lillian Isaacs
Samuel G Isaacs
Lily E Warner

If there is any truth in this idea it would make Donald and Iris step brother and sister? Someone mentioned this years and years ago but she has since passed ... my younger brother couldnt remember exactly what had been said , age thing lol......nan Lilian had married Maxwell so i assume Donald was his brother,  no !!! Oh this is all very confusing for my brain  haha.....i was trying to find out stuff for my older brother who is in his 70's for the info about his dad and he would of been interested to find out where and when he died ...im so thankful to you for all this searching for me ....thank you very very much !!!!
