I know from gengrant’s previous messages that both gentlemen emigrated to New Zealand, James in 1927 and William 1938. Would be grateful for any leads.

There's a William Grant travelling to NZ on the Rumitaka in 1938. He is aged 35 has a wife Grace 25 and an infant son who may be still living so I'm not posting his name here. Their address is 18 Hillfoot Rd Romford Essex.

I would need to tie together the correct birth for the son to the marriage of the parents to see if William has a middle initial W. No time for me to do that right now!

Do we know if those year dates are exact or approximations? I looked at 1927 for James but couldn't see anything. No more time now.

If William went from Burma direct to NZ then the record I found obviously won't be him. Also, if his brother was in the navy and ended his service in NZ then there won't be a record of a UK sailing.

Oooh, I've just found a tree on Ancestry with loads of info. The record I found is him as his wife's surname is Fulcher and that's one of the records I looked at.

I hope you have an ancestry sub as there's a lot to add here if not

I haven't looked at james on that tree as I have to go out now.
