Good afternoon,

I am currently working on my grandfathers side of the family.

It seems after the battle of culloden they have an alias surname of Mcgregor but were originally Grqnt. They seem to be the latter until after 1745.

Can someone explain why this would happen.

Donald Grant Alias Mcgregor b 1720 married to Rachel Garrow. I'm intrigued by this ancestor.

I have used my three haha. The neglect story highlights the domestic abuse . I also  found other articles of her husband who drinks, fights steals etc. Not much wonder she was a nervous wreck. 

Checked with initials and nothing comes up.

It's a head scratcher. She definitely didn't leave Scotland and I have letters written by her daughter Mary who discusses her death in 1969 but no new information from that.

Hi there, it's me again after some more help.

So you may recall that I was looking for a John Rollo born 1902 in Fraserburgh. I found and managed to finish his life story. Now I'm struggling with his mum.

Mary fraser ogston/Anderson born 1883 in Fraserburgh. She is in census documents up until 1911. She is also noted as Alive in her daughters marriage certificates in the late 20s but doesn't come up in 1921 census.

According to her death cert she died in 1969 in cornhill hospital. Upon further digging I found a mary rollo admitted to aberdeen royal lunatic asylum in 1918. She is also noted as being weak minded. My granny told me she was a poor thing who could not read or write.

Can anyone help me find her? I have tired SP, ancestory and find my past.

I have so much about her up until 1911 but after that the trail goes cold until 1969 when her death is logged.

Good evening and thank you for a the very warm welcome.

Thank you for the help with this its now opened a new lead for me. So I really appreciate it.

I just would like to know he had a nice life after the horrid start in his early years.
