« on: Friday 13 November 20 16:09 GMT (UK) »
Hi poodlz my name is Kelsey and my great ×4 grandfather is Andrew Grant, William Grant was born on Kirkan farm, in the parish of Contin, Ross-shire, Scotland, on 23rd September 1845, the son of Ann Tait and her husband, Donald Grant, a shepherd. With an older brother, Andrew, William set out for New Zealand in 1864 on the Eastern Empire, arriving at Lyttelton in January 1865, he was only 19 years of age. They had at least one border collie dog with them on board, and C.G. I'm only aware of John Andrew and William but I'm told Donald and Ann Tait had other children do you know anything about that? I have loads of info on Andrews side of the family and this on Williams side. Ellen and William GRANT
