I am reasonably confident that I have found the composers you are
seeking. However, as you helpfully warned, the spelling of both
middle names is different from the spelling in your question. So, if
either name is not the one you are looking for, please ask for
clarification without rating this answer first.
The first composer you are seeking is very likely to be Edvard Hagerup
Grieg. Here is a link to one of many sites about this great Norwegian
composer, which prominently includes his middle name at the top of the
page:
Classical Composers Database: Edvard Hagerup Grieg
http://www.classical-composers.org/cgi-bin/ccd.cgi?comp=grieg
And here is a link to the Edvard Grieg Homepage, which contains a
large amount of information on him and his work, including the
interesting fact that Grieg married a cousin whose last name was
Hagerup:

The other composer you are seeking is almost certainly Charles
Villiers Stanford. Here is link to the biography of this prominent
19th century Irish composer:
Classical Net: Composers: Stanford
http://www.classical.net/music/comp.lst/acc/stanford.html
Search Strategy:
I found Charles Stanford by guessing immediately that the correct
spelling of this middle name would have two "l"s and searching for
"villiers" at the following useful classical music resource:
Classical Music Archives (click the search button and enter the search term)
http://www.classicalarchives.com/main/s.html
I found Edvard Grieg at the same Web site by entering the search term
"hage". The search function at this site helpfully returns not just
complete word matches but also any word containing the search term.
As I said at the outset, I am confident that these are the composers
you are seeking, and I am happy to have been able to provide you with
the information so promptly.
If anything is unclear, or if -- surprisingly -- you have reason to
believe that Grieg is not the composer you are seeking, please ask for
clarification before rating this answer.
