[Rustypup]

Looking for info on Grants. Have Michael's marriage to Robina Ramsay in Ayrshire in 1855 age 26 giving birth in Monaghan.
Parents Robert and Mary Burns both deceased at that time.
Unable to find marriage for Robert and Mary.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

       Michael married Church of Scotland so presume Protestant.

marriage of Michael and Robina Grant mentioned on family search

I have been looking for same marriage details for some time.  On Michael's death cert it states Mother as Margaret Burns.  Informant is son Robert. He could have been mistaken on his Grandmother's name but as Robina was still alive at the time you would think she would have told him the correct name. On the marriage cert it does look like Mary and you would think Michael would know the name of his Mother. Looking at the names of Michael's children Mary comes before Margaret so I think it more likely to be Mary. Unless of course she was named Margaret but was known as Mary!!

Would be helpful if we knew which part of Monaghan he came from.   Will keep searching and post if I eventually come across details

Sarah Jane Grant, 66   Female, Presbyterian   Born County Monaghan, Widow is the only Monaghan Born, Presbyterian on 1901 Census with Mary Elisabeth, 38, daughter born Antrim..

so just before Civil Reg for birth of daughter.

So, even if you look on Civil Reg for Marriages of Grants up to 1863 ( https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/civil-records/help/what-civil-records-are-on-line ) in the Districts for Co. Monaghan, ( https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/civil-records/help/what-civil-records-are-on-line ) and select Monaghan,  they are not to be found!

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp  and look for those in the 7 Districts from list on left.
