Hi Brenda, Yes! This is the same family! I have Maria ? (obviously your Maria J. Horne) married to William Grant b. about 1860 of Stodfold. They had four children that I know of - William Francis Grant b. about 1886 James Horne Grant b. about 1888 Maria Ann Grant b. about 1895 John Horne Grant b. about 1899 James Horne Grant married Christina Forbes b. about 1888 at Gartly. Their son (still living) is my son-in-law's father. Here are the census records which I have found - 1891 Census: Aged 30, Head of household, living at "Faich Hill Farmhouse", Gartly, with wife Maria J. Grant aged 32, son William F. Grant aged 5, son James H Grant aged 3, Helen Rhind aged 27, Mary McDonald aged 43, John Mathieson aged 34, Charles Simpson aged 17 and James Cumming aged 16. 1901 Census: Aged 41, Head of household, living at "Faichhill Farm", Gartly with wife Maria J Grant aged 42, son William F Grant aged 15, son James H Grant aged 13, daughter Maria A Grant aged 6,. son John H Grant aged 2, Mary A Gregson aged 20, Jane Cruickshank aged 15, Alexander mcLean aged 24, James Stuart aged 18 and Charled Riddel aged 19.
