Pat. As I said earlier in reply, when you first posted this matter, it was clear to me at the time that you have a lot of information; you have enlarged upon it further here and in detail about Charles Stewart GRANT. But, as you have said yourself, it is William Grant for whom you are seeking our support to extend your ancestral records to an earlier point in time. I wholeheartedly agree it is often something that someone says when we have looked at a problem that might lead us to the solution. I did have a look at it in Ancestry earlier today as I think you have, and I understand the problems of identifying a parent for William Grant to help you, to reduce expense in Scotlands People I wondered if you have looked for a marriage of William Grant and Isabella Rae?. As you say there's no mention of Isabella in his monument inscription, perhaps he never married the females at all. It wouldnt be unusual. As an aside, have we any one here with a GRANT and STEWART family connection, in view of Charles's middle forename? He could have been named that way with patronymic purpose.

Janet.. I think I have found the correct John Grant as the father of my Willliam Just have to send for more info. Charles Stewart Grant was at one time on Upper Auchmill Road House #52 on the 1861 census. John Grant was at #55 Auchmull, Newhills on the 1841 census With him were William, Alexander, Marjory Grant.In 1861 William was at Abernethy with John,Head, Margaret DIL, Margaret Grand D and Charles, grand son. My husbands name Alan Keith Grant was after the Allans and Keiths in his family. The Stewart in Charles name was from Jannet Stewart in Rothiemay 1783 to 19 Nov 1834 who married Alexander Allan late 1700's On Mar 12, 2014, at 7:00 PM, Janet <cilurnum@googlemail.com> wrote: > Pat.
