From the death index
20094/1962
SHARROCK Rachole
Father Colin Neil Mother Harriett
District Coonabarabran
Have you taken her year of birth from her headstone
http://austcemindex.com/inscription.php?id=5089999
or marriage certificate?
3723/1913
SHARROCK Robert S
GRANT Rachel
District Wingham
There is a birth for a Rachel GRANT with mother Harriett but different father on NSW BDM ...perhaps have a browse just searching for Rachel GRANT and widen the period and leave the place blank.
http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/search.htm
Information on marriage certs is invariably more reliable than death certificates as the information has been given by the parties involved. In NSW it is possible to purchase transcriptions of certificates for about $17/18

i took her name from a grave stone but also my father told me this was her name have traced back to marry robert stanley SHARROCK which is my fathers father and she was buried on top of robert stanley SHARROCK
this was the site i found it on http://austcemindex.com/cemeteries.php?state=NSW
-
I wonder if the name changed over the years :-\
The only births in 1887 to Harriett and Neil Grant are
Rebecca A and John.
Rachel doesn't show up at all except for the one Cando gave you.

See on the tombstone it had her age I just subtracted it from the year she died I could be out by a year not sure she's a mystery

Do you know any of her siblings names??
The marriage transcript would give you more info

charles william SHARROCK
Dorothy ruby SHARROCK
Eileen may SHARROCK
ivy sylvia SHARROCK

Sorry I meant Rachel Grant's siblings.
Just trying to prove I'm looking at the right family:)
Annie
-
That should be hers as that's my fathers mother
-
I don't if she had and brothers or sisters if that helps
-
i asked my dad did rachel have any brothers or sisters he did remember one which was
charlie GRANT
i dont have a birth date or death but he did say he lived and died at Wyong NSW
the other problem ive discovered is on her grave stone records it says she died and was 75yo which makes her date of birth 1887 but on my dads birth certificate it says when my dad wad born on 29th june 1931 she was 36yo which would make date of birth 1895 she was confirmed born in Uralla, NSW
i have a birth certificate number for my dads its 27957
hope this info helps

You really need her marriage certificate to find anymore information about her.
These are the only births to Neil GRANT and Harriet including twins in 1887. Did Rebecca change her name to Rachel?

Hi
I am a descendant of Charles Grant.
You are a descendant of Neil Grant (his brother).
You are right. Rebecca changed her name to Rachel.
-
Hi Rachel is my dads mother which would be my grandmother i thought Rachel use to be Rebecca do you know why she changed her name i find it intresting
-
I do not know the reason why her first name changed. I do know they are the same person. Neils death certificate lists Rebecca but Harriets lists Rachael.
I have a stack of infomation on all the Grants of Uralla. I do not feel comfortable using this mode of communication. I note that they do not wish email addresses posted on this web site. Do you feel comfortable sending me a contact number. I am assuming you live in NSW.

Hi kirksta,
When it comes to living people (as it surely will in this interesting case)all here would agree,that the open board of Rootschat is not an appropriate way to exchange information.
The forum does not permit discussion of living people.
It is great that the forum has initiated contact between the two of you :D
You will be able to use the PRIVATE MESSAGE facility for your chatting, exchange of email address etc.
First you need to have made THREE posts on this, the open board. (just one more for you!)
After that, the private system will be made available to you if you just click on the little green scroll to the left.
Good Luck.
Sue

Hi Sue,
No problem.
This reply should turn on the green scroll thingy.
