Joint gravestone in Pocklington Cemetry for Thomas Cliffe Grant, Edith Mary Walford Grant and Mary Ann Grant (Edith's sister, not mother). No dates on it. In same cemetry is gravestone of Thomas Grant and Mary Anne Grant. Have pictures of both.
An Edith MW Grant (born circa 1866) died Q2 1964 in Ewecross, West Riding ; so I'm pretty sure that's her, although wouldn't explain why buried in Pocklington, unless to be with husband and sister I suppose.
1964 letter from Tom to 'Cousin Sylvia' re her death. States that Sylvia was the only member of the family at the funeral. Tom only found out (Yorks Post) on the evening of the funeral "it would have been fairly easy for me to have come over" .... Sylvia had written to Tom .... but to his old address.
Edith married Tom Cliffe Grant, son of William Grant and Mary Anne, Q1 1909 in Pocklington, East Riding. (Tom Cliffe Grant was born in 1859 in Kirkheaton, Huddersfield, Yorkshire.)
