Title: David Duff Grant
Post by: Fran21 on Tuesday 29 November 22 16:12 GMT (UK)

Looking for any information on DAVID DUFF GRANT, born 13 Feb 1907. I have his wedding certificate he married  in 1930 in Blackpool to  Mary Mckenzie (born 28 May 1909) Trying to find his parents, his father's name on wedding certificate is James Grant. From what I was told David Duff Grant came from Aberdeenshire and so did his wife. Found them both on 1939 register in Blackpool.   Just trying to go back on the Grant family.
Many thanks for any help. Regards Frances.

You need to search on Scotlands people, and purchase the relevant documentation from there.

As we know, A/try trees can be wrong  ::) I think from what we have on the other thread, there are some errors on the family trees available.

James Grant was actually born in 1861, to a Jessie Milne. Reputed father was an Alexander Grant, shoemaker. More details on the other thread...
