Facts and Events
Joseph Grant was baptised on 14th March 1824 at Sidlesham in Sussex, son of Mary Grant, formerly Chaffer, and her husband Charles Grant, who worked at different times as a labourer, blacksmith and fisherman. Joseph appears in the 1841 census living with his parents and siblings at the hamlet of Mill in Sidlesham parish.
In 1850, aged about 26, Joseph married a Sarah Farrow. Early the following year they had a daughter, Emily, baptised at Sidlesham. The 1851 census finds Joseph, Sarah and baby Emily living at Mill in Sidlesham, and describes Joseph as a fisherman. Joseph died four months later, being buried at Sidlesham on 30th July 1851. He was 27 years old.
He left behind Sarah as a nineteen year old widow with a seven month old baby to support. Sarah has yet to be traced after Joseph's death, but young Emily went to live with Joseph's parents.
