Hugh Grant has provided the following:

Hugh Grant was my Grandfather who I never met, and he was married to Lillian Grant (Nee Scott). They had 3 sons - Hugh my Father, Thomas and Harry.

He lived in the Teams, Tyne Vale Terrace as that’s where the family come from as far as I’m aware.

I believe he died of the flu.
