Moray (Elginshire) / Re: Janet CALLUM or GRANT
« on: Tuesday 23 June 20 15:22 BST (UK) »
Hi Colin: No, I can't find a marriage for Alexander and Janet but that wouldn't show their parents anyway. Usually just says "so and so contracted, etc.."
I have however, followed up on John Grant from Edinkillie as father of Janet. SP shows a John Grant born in 1725 with parents All. Grant (Allan/Allistair?) and WAIT FOR IT - mother Janet Callum from Rafford (don't know how close that would be to Forres/Edinkillie where the later family lived). If these are the right people, then Janet Callum would be Janet Grant/Callum's grandmother. Looks promising but no way, of course, to prove its them.
Will pursue it further - at least it may be a step in the right direction.
Thanks for your help.
