william GRANT and his parents

[AussieHutsonGrant]

I have Isabella Alexander Grant (Birth 05 Jun 1809 in Marnoch, Banffshire, Death 1870 in Rhynie, Aberdeenshire). Isabella married James Cran (Birth 4 Nov 1807 in  Rhynie and Essie, Aberdeenshire, Death 18 Apr 1870 in Rhynie, Aberdeenshire).

Isabella Alexander Grant is the daughter of William Grant (born abt 1780 presume Marnoch) and Jannet Crookshank (Birth 20 Aug 1786 in  Forgue, Aberdeenshire).

I seek the ancestors of William Grant (born abt 1780 presume Marnoch).

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
