I am looking for the MIs for the following:
William Grant, 1784 - 1875 b. Knockando and his wife Sarah Miller 1785 - 1851/1855 also b. Knockando
Their son, James Grant, 1812 - 1900, b. Dulnain Bridge and his wife Christina McIntosh 1815 - 1879 b. Grantown, plus their son Donald Grant, 1860 - 1864 b. Grantown
They all lived, from the 1820s onwards, and died in Grantown and, according to his death notice, James is definitely buried in Inverallan graveyard. He was quite wealthy, owning a number of properties, so was easily able to afford a stone for his parents and his family. I have Alison Mitchell's pre-1855 MIs for Inverallan, Cromdale, Advie and Duthil but none of them are there (she does have some post 1855s listed).
William's parents and brother Lachlan are buried in Duthil, I have that MI and a photo, so it is possible he may be there, it's only about 6 miles from Grantown.
As his eldest son was the informant on the death certificate, I think it likely that James Grant is buried with his wife and son so they should all be in Inverallan.
Can anyone find them for me? Many thanks
