Sandra Yes that's  definitely him-  amazing! but what does that tell us?  where does this information come from?  the actual gravestone which I have seen,  doesn't show all the parents dates.

DB sorry i gave conflicting info he died 1858.

You most likely noticed it but in case you didn't...
from the site Sandra recommended
Elizabeth Grant, daughter of Peter Grant and Isabella Ross, died in Canada 1859.
This entry is on the previous page to John Grant's entry.

 I  noticed that but thank you anyway, especially you  trying to seek possible marriage.

on a separate note i have ancestry uk subscription,  would it be worth getting the worldwide one to search for him on a possible census?

Have you looked on the family search site - 1851 census of Canada is free to browse.

https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1325192

and 1861

https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1460164

Have you got birth years for either Elizabeth or John ?

Sandra

only  a broad idea of birth dates. I think they were from a previous marriage to my direct ancestor so I need to do some more research on that.  Either way, looking for name John Grant death or birth is tricky.  :-\

thanks for the fam search tip- ill trawl through the names on that.
