My Gt. Gt. grandmother was a Maria Grant born circa 1830-35 "Gloucestershire" (1841 Census info) no baptism found.

Definite family legend that her father was born in Scotland and my mother had a small piece of tartan given to her by her grandfather, which was a Grant tartan.

Answer 13

My mother is scottish. Her parents were from Glasgow and Edinburgh and before that they were all from the west coast, including the isles of Islay and Mull. A few generations back my ancestors were thrown off Mull (I think but could have been a different island) for 'cattle rustling' - that's stealing other people's cows! My great uncle was the sherif of Mull and caught Paul McCartney growing weed there. Didn't arrest him though, luckily for beatles fans.
