hi pal,

if you visit www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk you will find that the birth certificate of alexander 1855 contains more information than any others, in 1855 registration just started in scotland, so you will find lots of info on the family.

Hi Joe

Did as you said and had a wonderful time gathering information on the www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk site about the Grants.

 I cannot thank you enough for the information you have given me.

Kind regards

hi Joe

Its not quite the end, I am still seeking information about Isabella Grant born 1872 and Margaret Grant born 1869, for which  I will keep searching, regarding the other Grant family history I wouldn't have been able to proceed so far back or gather so much information without your help and expertise, for which I am very very grateful.

Thank you and kind regards

hi pal,

have you checked the lair that contains the parents?

maybe she was in last... contact the local council and ask for details..

do you think isabella ever married? she was 36 on the 1901 census, i reckon her death will be there on the scottishpeoples website.

another thing i do quite regular is i often guess their age at time of death and very often i am correct, due to the fact the male members do not live past the age of 70 and the females 75, i am not sure about your family but it might be worth a go.

regarding your maggie, is there any family rumour of where she may be?

hi Joe

I have checked the family lair (in person) via Wick library and a day in Wick cemetery, although at the time I wasn't aware there were six siblings, but no luck there. I have searched for them both on the scottishpeoples no luck there either, but I never say never and will come across them one day.

No family rumours I'm afraid, no one left to ask, one sister did marry and go to Edinburgh, my idea was, in the beginning eight years back was to find the sisters of my great grandfather and call it a day, but  genealogy got a grip of me and I am still trying to put bits to-gether, and with a lot of help and guidance from folk like yourself I have achieved a lot more than I expected too.

When I do find Maggie and Isabella you will be the first t know.


I remain grateful for all your help advice and expertise.
