Hello Greg Saw your email on the Grant family and your list of interests. I am reaearching the following Jane Brodie m John Morrison april 27 1825 Gamrie Banff. Jane was the daughter of James Brodie and Isobell Laurance. One of John Morrison/Jane Brodie children was Jean Grant Morrison. Jean Grant Morrison b july 28 1827. I have no idea at this stage where the Grant came from and this is the one and only time this name shows in the Morrison line. I am aware it was usual for middle names to be given to children that belonged to grandmothers and if that is the case then either James Brodie or Isobell Laurance mother was a Grant. I was wondering if our families link in at all. I would be gratefull for any help or information you may have. At this moment in time the names I am looking for in the Banffshire area are Morrison, Brebner,Tayleor,Davison,Brodie,Michie,Laurance,Heatherwick Anne Ambrose nee Morrison _________________________________________________________________
