1861 they are in Blairgowie, James is a toll keeper and with them several other children;
John is now 10
James 9
Rebecca 7
William 5
Jean Ann 3
Charlotte, 4mths
Is this the family you are looking for? Who are you descended from to confirm?
Did they emigrate as finding it hard to see them after 1861 census.
Cheers,
Trish

Looks like this is them
The IGI at www.familysearch.org has this info on the marriage;
James GRANT
Rebecca MOODIE
1 September 1850
Redgorton,Perth,Scotland
As Redgorton is where son John aged 4mths is born, it is pretty conclusive I would say.

Hi
Yes this is absolutely the family I'm after.
I need to find out if this is my family. I descend from a John Grant, son of James and Rebecca. Our family history informs us that John came out to NZ - he had certainly arrived by 1876. Other than that we know nothing. The dates and places I have certainly match with what we know
In my search I came across this family and also cannot find them beyond the 1861 census. A 10 year old posting on a forum suggests that they all came out to NZ in 1864 and that James Grant died in 1866. I am currently searching passenger lists, so far without luck and there is a James Grant 1866 death listed on our NZ Historical BMD website which I've yet to investigate
All seems very odd to me. Absolutely wonderful to find someone else in the world who maybe seeking the same family. What is the connection?

Hi Enzfan,
I have no connection to the Grant family. The purpose of Rootschat is to help others
I will see if I can find anything else.
I am originally from N.Z. and know what wonderful info some of their BMD certs contain. Purchasing the death cert. should give you time in Nz that he has lived and that would help with tracking when they arrived. Same with childrens marriage certs.
Cheers,
Trish

Found them;
All I did was "google" rebecca grant + passenger list
http://www.angelfire.com/ok2/cbluff/helenslee1863.html
There is an extra child born also after 1861 census named Isabella and presume Jean Ann is now just known as Jane.

Hello
I do not know what happened to the rest of my reply.
The 1851 and 61 censuses were the ones I thought I had posted. Never mind they have been posted by others. 
Regards Pam

Thanks a lot Trish. Really appreciate all your efforts here.
I think this is going to be a bit of a revelation to my father's cousins who are James and Rebecca's great grand children.

Hi Enzfan
I am happy you have finally another piece of the puzzle.
If you need any more help try the resources page on the NZ board or a posting a new question as all on the NZ board are extremely helpful.
If you have finished this post, please add to your heading to COMPLETED. You can always start a new one if you need something else in Perthshire.
Cheers,
trish

Hi there
I am a descendant of Isabella Lyon Grant, 7th child of James & Rebecca Grant. Isabella was born 1862 at Redgorton, Perthshire.
I have also recently been in contact with other descendants of James & Rebecca.
cheers Pip
