Joe Grant ex mortars

Does anyone know the last location for Joe Grant ex Mortars 70's and 80's.

Originally from the Ammanford/Brynamman area.

I have done all the checks, voters, phone book etc with no luck.

We are having a Support Company reunion at Tom 51's Penygreos Rugby Club on the 6th November and trying to get in touch.

Anyone with any info can they please get in touch.

Much appreciated.

Clive

Clive is this the Joe that was married to a girl from Hong Kong??

Yes that's the one.

Would or do the Army Records give out information??

Clive

If you know all of Joe's details(or as many as you can remember),they will pass on a letter from you to his last known address. Otherwise it's an MI5 job!

Last heard of he was living in the old married quarters in crickhowell

Thanks for that Paul.

How long ago was it that he was living in the married quarters in Crickhowells??

Joe was indeed living in Crickhowell with his wife Lisa and their son Michael . I can confirm this to about 2004 . I left the area and have not seen Joe for a while but a friend of mine assures me that he is now living in Cwmbran . Perhaps a check of the electoral roll in this area will bring up his whereabouts .

Clive , I did the following search on the electoral role , "Colin Grant , Gwent "
A result came up showing a residence that he resides in with two other occupants being , Lisa and Michael . This is probably your man . I did not get the address as it cost money !!!!!

Thanks for that David.

I sent an e-mail to the Library in Cwmbran. I have had a reply but the voters are in address order and not names I need to look through the addresses.

It is a pain that 192.com has a monopoly on things like this and you have to pay!!

Anyone know of a website to look through for the electoral register?

Any members living in the Cwmbran area and have a spare hour or so??

I begrudge paying for something that is normally free, but I suppose it is only a £5

Thanks

Clive

Maybe Joe does not want people looking for him.

Thanks Jase, you may be right, that's his choice.

I have however managed to get his address, he lives in the Thornhill area of Cwmbran.

If any member lives nearby could they get in touch with me please via e-mail.

If not, I will drop him a line and if he chooses not to reply, so be it.

Thanks for everyones interest anyway.

Regards

Clive

Jase , Joe is not like that , he would love to touch base with the boys for a pint . But knowing Joe , he's probably down on his luck as things had a habit of going wrong for him for quite a few years . He did a couple of rugby tours with us and was always skint but , eh , some of us are like that . He's a good bloke and I am sure he would love to see the lads again . You might have to buy him a few pints though :)

Thanks Dave. I do know Joe by the way not that it matters mate. Maybe some people just want to move on with life and cut them selves off from tye past. I remember speaking to him just before he got out and he had deep regret about his lack of achievement and how he felt let down by the Battalion. A few of the forum members who worked closely with Joe will understand what I mean. Like I said he may just want to remain as he is.
