Help needed...

[aliray]

 I have a Maxwell Grant born 1875 in Foveran ....he married Ann Caroline (Francis)
 Have been trying to find his parents names and any information possible !

 Does anyone have anything on him at all please.......

 Thank you

[GR2]

The index to ScotlandsPeople says he was born in Foveran in 1875 and that his mother's maiden name was Kelly.

The same index says Francis Grant married Jane Kelly in Foveran in 1861.

The 1881 census shows the family in Newburgh, Foveran:

Francis Grant, head, 51, seaman merchant service,
Jane Grant, wife, 40,
John Grant, son, 19, seaman merchant service,
James Grant, son, 14, scholar
Donald Grant, son, 11, scholar,
Jane Grant, daughter, 8, scholar,
Maxwell Grant, son, 5, scholar,
Mary Grant, daughter, 2

All born in Foveran.
