Notes for Adela Annie Churchill Grant
She was born posthumously.
At the 1883 wedding of her half-brother, William Arthur Gillett, the guests included, from the present list, a Miss Grant. Probably this was her and if so, shows that she had not married by then, when she was 32.
However the Grant article in Burke's 2001 Landed Gentry shows that she did marry, in 1885 to Robert Gray Cobham, but dsp.
_________________
Her birth record on FreeBMD has her as ‘Adela Churchill Grant’.
I cannot find her her death up to 1910.
In the 1881 census she was aged 30, living at Cardigan Villa, Sonning, Berks with two servants to look after her.
_________________
In the 1911 census she was a widow, aged 60 and living at Hurst Lea, Hurst, Twyford, Berks with two live-in servants. She almost absolutely certainly had had no children.
