JAMES GRANT SIBLINGS- ( The Grant's Uncles and Aunts)


MORE ABOUT THE GRANTS

James (Jim) Grant Siblings

♣♣♣
James Grant son of Thomas Grant and Elizabeth Polina Sill-Grant

James ( Alias - Jim )had four siblings that survived until the 80’s
  • Bertie Grant (Baleneur, Manchester) - He can best be remembered riding his horse. Also, his financial status was reasonably good for his time.
  • Curtis Grant ( Baleneur, Manchester) was a tall black man that used to visit Esmie  and Eddie once in awhile.
  • Nadal Grant  ( Baleneur, Manchester) He was the father of Asnet. He never visited with Esmie and Eddie.
  • Evelyn Grant (Kingston) – She hated Grey Hair and usually use black polish to dye her hair.
  • Gwendolyn Grant (Queens, NY.) – A cancerous tumor was found on her toe and when living in England, her leg was amputated. She had a prosthetic leg but it was very difficult for anyone to know as she was such an active woman.
From what could have been observed, Bertie Grant was the uncle that genuinely cared for Jim’s children. Even when they were adults, he would ride his horse and visit Eddie in Craighead on a regular basis. Not much is known of the other two surviving brothers as they never got involved.  Both Esmie and Eddie’s children knew and got along well with Bertie's children. Some of Eddie and Esmie’s children visited his house on a regular basis and vice versa.

    Hello.
    My mother was born in Craighead and helps me with the family tree.
    I noticed that there are several similar Grant's in my tree as you have on this webpage.
    https://www.myheritage.com/site-family-tree-52066881/sugihara
    Feel free to look at my tree and search on "Grant". You'll see Hazel, Sid, Gloria, Ruby, Hopei (sp?), Erna, and Frenchie...and I have some others.
    Are these that you've listed the "children" of Jim or Eddie?
    And do you recognize Liliana Agatha (born Scarlett) the these children's mother?
    Please let me know.
    Regards,
    Akira

SO LITTLE AND YET SO MUCH LOVE

When Mercel and Esmie had their first set of children, life was a lot simpler, yet they were very happy together as a couple. During the 50” s through the early 70” s, most Districts in Jamaica did not have electricity, running water or phones. Life was a lot less complicated and children were a lot happier. They played together and stayed together. Relationships were a lot more binding and respectful. When people died the body would stay no longer than two days before being buried. It took two days as the coffins had to be built by a district carpenter. At nights the body would be taken out of the house and put outside as it was much cooler. During the days, coffee would be burned underneath the bed to suppress the scent of the decomposition. Then in Craighead there was a town crier, Miss Larry, a poverty-stricken widow who was more than happy to get her payment from just being given a whole lot of coffee to drink. If someone in the District was terminally ill, a lot of
