Hell list John GRANT married Susannah PAY on 17 January 1823. I know that there are at least three John Grants who appear in the later baptism registers as fathers - that's not a problem, I've managed to determine that mine's the mariner. 1834, page 283, no 2262 July 6, Walter Frederick, son of John & Susannah Grant, Margate, Tailor [plus other children] 1835, page 11, no 86 July 19 Susannah, daughter of John and Susannah Grant, Margate, Mariner and various children of John & Elizabeth Grant, gentleman or mariner Unfortunately I've found baptism enties for two John GRANTs, presumably there should be a third somewhere; does anyone have any idea which might be which? John, son of Robert and Rachael Grant, born 2 July, baptised 30 July 1809 John, son of John and Christian Grant, born 19 Sep 1808, baptised 12 Mar 1809 Being born less that a year apart it would be difficult enough to distinguish between them if I had census returns, unfortunately I've not been able to find "my" John Grant in any census. It may be that he was at sea, he was described variously as "mariner" or "shipwright" on birth & baptism records. I don't even know when he died. Any suggestions or assistance would be much appreciated Colin Moretti I'm a member of the Anglo-Italian Family History Society http://www.anglo-italianfhs.org.uk Looking for MORETTI, PAGLIANO, BARGMAN, FORSE in London CADWELL in Huntingdonshire, TARRY in Buckinghamshire McQUOIN GRANT in Margate
