Perhaps Hugh and Alice were twins? I only have on me what I copied and pasted above. I'll check through the entire chapter but all the original research on Alice's family from there on covers the grant-Daltons down to me. I know my late grandmothers father in South Africa was called "Tre" by his friends as his second name was Trevanion Grant-Dalton.

I've just read my original post here and see I've written Robert and Alice. I should have written Dalton Foster Grant-Dalton and Alice(nee Trevanion). So it seems there is another earlier Alice Grant-Dalton. They were married in 1848, and Dalton died in 1890. So I am way off the mark.

Not sure if this is of interest, however my family has links to Alice Charlotte Trevanion. Here is a cutting from a chapter of the Grant-Daltons history;
"The eldest son Dalton Foster Grant-Dalton inherited Shanks. On the 3 May 1848 he married Alice Charlotte Trevanion, twin daughter of Charles Bettesworth Trevanion of Caerhays Castle, Cornwall. The Trevanions were one of the most ancient and greatest of the Cornish families. The church at St.Michael, Caerhays, contains many family monuments and relics of the family, notably a sword with which one of the Trevanions was allegedly dubbed Knight Bannerette on Bosworth Field by Henry VII.
Dalton and Alice’s eldest son Reginald was the Black Sheep of the family, and had been disinherited for having married an American actress! So when Dalton died in 1890, the estate passed on to the next in line, who was Alan Grant-Dalton. It was the final irony, that running expenses on the huge estate were so high that he was unable to meet them, and so decided to make his life else- where. "

Not that it will help however Robert and Alice Grant-Daltons second eldest son who inherited Shanks House, was my grandmothers grandfather, Alan Grant-Dalton. I have a lot of information on that side of the family.
