John Grant and Margaret Cooper

[Waipu]

The good people on the US board found this information on my husband's grandmother. Can anyone find more about her parents, in particular where John Grant came from as I too have Grants in my family.  Where he is buried in Canada would also be helpful.
Thank you.

Georgina's parents might not have emigrated.  Have you checked Scotland's People for their marriage and her birth and their possible deaths?

Ina Grant, b. 1891 Scotland, 21, single, travelled on the Teutonic from Glasgow arriving 13 May 1912.  Her destination was Montreal, Quebec under the sponsorship of Mrs. Francis as a domestic worker.  This link explains a bit about the society

Orin held the following land

Map to locate the land - townships are north to south and ranges east to west.  His land was southeast of Drumheller.  He held 1 section or 1 square mile.

This newspaper article on Orin shows him living Fork Lake, Alberta which is northeast of Edmonton or west of Cold Lake, Alberta.  Actually quite a distance from Edmonton.

Thank you for all of that. Just been saying to my husband that we could be related. Me with a grandmother who is a GRANT and he with greatgrandfather GRANT. Now to check back in Scotland.

Thank you, Sandra. It has been a while since I looked at this site. Interesting to read that Georgina has two daughters. Lerna was my husband's mother but we have never heard of Bernice. Knew there was a sister, Bobby, who had disappeared at the start of WWII and believed there was one called Margaret. Did not know that my husband's uncle Orin was born in Montana. Thanks again for your information.
