Title: 1871 / 1891 John & Charles GRANT
Post by: Stewart on Thursday 02 December 04 09:36 GMT (UK)

I am looking for Grants who might have come from Scotland. John and Charles were supposily from Bristol but no trace can be found of them there. They might have been born in Scotland, moving to England before emigrating to South Africa.

Birth date for John Grant was about 1863 & Charles about 1880 - 1884.

Just found this link relating to Scottish Grant surname distribution. It may be of interest to you. It may also be worth you contacting the webmaster of this site to see if he can assist with your research:

Hi Stewart

Are you doing a One Name Study on the entire family name or are you just after information on these particular individuals?  :)

If the latter is the case I will gladly move the post for you to a more relevant board which may help to generate a response for you.   Please let me have any information on possible locations (County etc.) so I can place it in the right board.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes

Ticker
