Banffshire / Re: Grants and McPhersons in the Mortlach area

Forfarian.

Thank you again, I am a member of Scotlandspeople, but as you said before there are quite a few Grants, but with the help you gave yesterday I managed to trace the right ones.

It is like when you have to search for certain names (like Jean, which could be put down as Jane) but as my aunt says you just have to think outside the box sometimes.

She has this problem when she is searching the other side of our family.

Thank you
Forfarian for the info it is very helpful, the second Grant's born in Cabrach are my ancestors, I have found Jean Grant's marriage certificate to William Beattie in 1859 and it has her parents name on as Peter Grant and Elspet Grant (nee Dow) of Ballochford.

I am researching my great great granny Jean Beattie's side born 1863 whose mother was Jean Grant born 1840 to Peter Grant (1817) and Elspet Dow.

I have Peter's dad Peter who was born in 1795, and resided in the Cabrach, Bridgend seems to ring a bell, where he was a blacksmith,

If I am right his blacksmith shop was handed down to his Great Granddaughter Jean Beattie, who married William Harper, who was also a blacksmith.

I am trying to find out where Peter Grant ( 1795) was born as I have been on Genealogy of the Cabrach, and just gives Aberdeenshire and not who his parents are either.

If there is anyone on this page shed any light it would be great.

I also have other family members who were born and lived in the Cabrach, Glass areas: Thomson's, Milne's, :)
