I open this thread only because of Athene granti Sharpe, 1888
The Key to Scientific Names - Birds of the World have him as
Instead of Ninox it is now placed in the genus Athene.
He was dealt more or less also Madeira and Azores subspecies and Oriolus isabellae Ogilvie-Grant, 1894 and Carpodectes hopkei von Berlepsch, 1897 and A couple of open Stone questions .

Personally I would attribute him as well Phoeniculus damarensis granti (Neumann, 1903) OD https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/101406#page/200/mode/1up . This is because of the introduction where Neumann mentioned the London Museum. But I would not Eexclude Claude Henry Baxter Grant fully.
Several obituaries can be found here https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1474-919X.1924.tb05353.x , https://sora.unm.edu/sites/default/files/journals/auk/v041n04/p0643-p0649.pdf and https://britishbirds.co.uk/sites/default/files/V18_N04_P104-105_OB019.pdf
I am not sure about Gennaeus granti Oates, 1910 and Talegalla cuvieri granti Roselaar, 1994 (as I did not check them).

William Robert Ogilvie-Grant (1863–1924) was a Scottish ornithologist. He was Curator of Birds at the BMNH (1909–1918), having started work there aged 19. He enlisted with the First Battalion of the County of London Regiment at the beginning of WW1 and suffered a stroke whilst helping to build fortifications near London (1916). He is famed for describing a number of well-known species, such as the huge Philippine Eagle Pithecophaga jefferyi. He wrote A Hand-book to the Game Birds (1895) and is also remembered in the name of a mammal. (Also see Grant, Ogilvie)
