That is terrific Pat!. I rather thought that the Stewart and Keith names were naming patterns rather than a male forename. Do let us know what the actual outcome is, would you? I often think it would be nice to hear from those who have brought their genealogy puzzles to us and we never know how things work out. It might just help someone else. ;-) Janet ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mina Patricia Grant" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2014 7:41 PM Subject: Re: [ABERDEEN] William Grant 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 <[email protected]> wrote: > Pat.
