I solved the above problem by adding "routing" parameter to the POST to 
create grandchild. By default ES uses parent id of grandchild unless 
routing is explicitly specified (for example in URL). Here I specified 
routing to be the id of the dad (or grandparent from the perspective of the 
grandchild). After the routing is specified in creation, last POST to 
search child having the grandchild with name 'GrandChild1' succeeds.

FYI Relevant StackOverflow question & answer here.

POST http://localhost:9200/family/grandchild/100?parent=10&routing=1
{
  "name" : "GrandChild1",
  "_parent" : "10"
}
