Francis Herbert, Francis Albert and Frank Grail - Same perso (General)

How often do you see "Herbert", and how often do you see "Albert"? My guess would be that one or the other of them is a transcription error. They both end in "bert", which was apparently legible, but a stylized "A" or "H" could easily be confused with one another.

Do any family sources tell you which name is correct? If it is possible, check the "original" document rather than a transcription and see if this theory makes sense.
