Dora Grant was baptised on 23rd April 1876 at Sidlesham in Sussex, daughter of Sarah Grant, formerly Upfield, and her husband Alfred Grant, a fisherman. She appears in both the 1881 and 1891 censuses living with her parents and siblings in the Mill area of Sidlesham, specifically at Island Cottage in 1891, when she was described as a "girl help" - presumably a domestic servant.

In 1900, when Dora was a domestic servant at Highland House, she had a son named Douglas Alfred Grant. His baptism does not name his father. The 1901 census finds Dora living with baby Douglas and her parents back at Island Cottage. She was described as "formerly waitress" implying that she had had to give up her work in order to look after young Douglas.

Dora has yet to be researched after 1901.
