Hello Mina, You did not mention whether you had the 1881 census or not. I show William Grant, 49, and his wife Margaret, 54, at No. 2 Molen Cottages in Tillyfourie, Monymusk. William is shown as being born in Abernethy, Inverness. He is a Granite Causeway Block Maker. Son William, age 17 born in Newhills, is also in the household with the same profession as his father. There are two boarders..Archibald Wilson and David Booth. Son Charles S Grant, 22, born Newhills is at No. 8 Mowlen Cottages in Tillyfourie with the same profession as his father. Also there is Charles' wife Jessie G Grant and their son William Grant, 2 months, born Monymusk. As you mentioned, Jessie G was born in Dyce. Don't know if any of this information helps you or if you already had it but thought I would pass it along just in case.

If he died in Scotland, his parents should be listed on the DC. Furthermore, he should be on the 1841 Census, probably living with his family. There are 139 of his name in the 1841 census on FreeCEN born 1831±2 but a very high proportion are well outside that range of birth dates and outside the counties you list. If you haven't done so, have a look at the list and pick out the few that match reasonably closely. This might give you a lead to his parents especially if you know which county he was born in and moved to.
