About the photograph

Grant wears a dark clerical garment and white collar, and holds a book while standing beside a brick doorway. The photograph alone does not establish his denomination or a particular church appointment.

The name, title and marriage relationship are recorded from family testimony. A later-supplied wedding card establishes marriage at Christ Church, Gipsy Hill, on 16 June 1945 and prints his name as Grant MacLaren. Life dates and ministry history await further records.
