    • It would seem that Donald remarried. The Bodleian Library of Commonwealth & African Studies at Rhodes House, Oxford University has among its accruals a "Letter from Andrew K. Tibandebage who was Manager and first Headmaster of the Karagwe Secondary School, Lukajange, Tanzania, c 1977, and Chairman of its Board of Governors in 1986. The letter "with photocopies of two letters by her late husband, Donald Robert Grantham, geologist, from British Guiana and Tanganyika, 1937 and 1941, and his obituary (d 1969), were donated on 15th January 1999 by Mrs. Kay Grantham, Dorking, Surrey, 1986-1987
      .." They chiefly relate to matters of health, family and economic difficulties in Tanzania.
      It should be noted from Will Administration for: "GRANTHAM Winifred Edith OF 151 Tulse Hill, Lambeth London S.E.2 single woman died 30 July 1951 at St Columbas Hospital Swiss Cottage London N.W.3 Probate London 12 October to Leonard George Vine Headmaster. Effects &171 5s. 5d." that she is cited as a single woman and that Leonard George Vine is a brother.
      Examination of Electoral Registers shows that she resided alone under the name Winifred Grantham from at the earliest, 1934 at Fernside, Reigate, Surrey and then from 1945 at 151 Tulse Hill, Lambeth, the address in the Probate notice.
      The last record that can be found with Winifred in the company of Donald Grantham is an arrival at Southampton from New York abosrd "Europa" 22 October 1936. Their proposed address while in the UK is given as Carrickfergus, Deepdene Ave, Dorking which is the same address given for an arrival from Beira, Tanganyika alone on the Mantola, 16 November 1939 for which she had departed 30 April 1938.
      The earliest record found with Kay "Grantham" in the company of Donald is a shipping arrival at Plymouth 22 March 1948 from Biera on the Modassa, with UK address given as 18 Deepdene Ave, Dorking. Interestingly Kay's occupation is given as "Farmer" which may indicate some length to residence and family ties in Tanganyika.
      I have not as at June 2014 been able to discover documentation of a divorce of Winifred and Donald.
