Hi Irfaan, I have checked the detail of your email and regret that I cannot link them to any information I have. I'm puzzled by your reference to Mull. From the places database I have (which contains over 7,900 entries) there is no place called Ballygrant. I believe that the family are from Islay and it would be worthwhile posting a request for information on the Rootsweb Islay list (sct-islay) if you have not already done so. Good hunting.
