Hi I am behind in answering mail! I have looked through my Grant work and can find nothing on this family. If you ever find more info I would be very interested.

It was a while ago and my notes are packed away in New Zealand (as sometimes I think my memory is also!!), but I'm sure the immigrant ancestor was a Robert GRANT from Clyne, SUT, an early immigrant to New Zealand (c1840?) who became a large runholder in the North Island. He was from a large family of GRANTS and his father (I cannot remember the name) died at Clyne in 1855 (with all that lovely detail on his death certificate of course). There was another brother who was also a very successful runholder in New Zealand and there are many descendants. I believe the two brothers also married two Clyne or Brora brides in New Zealand. Sorry I can't remember more, however I'm sure I could talk my father-in-law in New Zealand into a trip to our storage garage to retrieve the relevant file!
