I have been looking for Mann family that came to Perth, Leonard William Grierson came to Perth in the early 1900's his parents were Rachel Mann and David Grierson. Benjamin Mann also came to Perth he is Rachel's brother. I was wondering if Leonard had any children.? I have been doing my trees since 1983. How sad!!

This appears to be the deaths for Leonard and Alice above.

Name: Leonard William GRIERSON.
Died: 23 March 1978 in Dongara, Western Australia.
Age: 69 years.

Name: Alice Jane GRIERSON.
Died: 31 October 1991 in Geraldton, Western Australia.
Age: 86 years.

Leonard and Alice were cremated at the Karrakatta Cemetery in Western Australia.
Memorial location: Garden of Remembrance, Section EC, Site 17, Position 0184.

The quickest way to find out if they had any children would be to follow up with death notices in the newspapers or death certificates as their children should be named. Having their dates of death will speed up newspaper searches.

Hope this is of some help.

This bit is not what you're looking for. It's just a coincidence I found interesting. In the Old Geraldton Cemetery at Geraldton Gaol there are two convicts buried. One by the name of Gilbert Grierson died 26 May 1877 age 40; and the other is George Mann died 14 September 1868 age 34.

Now this is what you are looking for :

Rachel Mann/Grierson/Jeffrey
You should now be able to find others using this site and Trove but of course death certificates are needed.
