Notes for Alexander William Harvey Grant
FreeBMD has the following candidates for his birth:
Alexander William Grant, b. Q3 of 1868, Islington dist, vol 1b, p. 201
Alexander William Grant, b. Q1 of 1889, Wakefield dist, vol 9c, p. 49
I have no idea which, if either, of these might be him.
In the 1911 census there were seven Alexander W[illiam] Grants:
Institution, Household or Vessel Name Birth Year Age Sex Registration District County
Household GRANT, Alexander W 1859 52 M St Pancras, London
Household GRANT, Alexander W 1848 63 M Leicester, Leicestershire
Household GRANT, Alexander William 1877 34 M Hackney, London
Household GRANT, Alexander William 1899 12 M Wandsworth, London
Household GRANT, Alexander William 1872 39 M Leicester, Leicestershire
Institution GRANT, Alexander William 1875 36 M Gibraltar
Institution GRANT, Alexander William 1900 11 M Gibraltar
The penultimate was almost certainly the father of the ultimate.

In fact he died at sea a short while after his marriage, proved by the probate index (thanks to an unknown researcher on Ancestry). No death record has been found. (I don’t know what is done with deaths-at-sea.)
