SHARROCK Rachole   
Father Colin Neil   Mother Harriett

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.

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.
