My mum (who has been mapping the family tree) just sent me this:
Your great, great grandfather, John Grant lived in Edinburgh. In the 1871 Census his family was living at 16 Parkside Street, St Cuthberts, Edinburgh. John was a joiners apprentice and his father, James, a coal agent.
In 1861 the family was in Muirpark Cottage, Humbie, Haddingtonshire (East Lothian), Scotland. John was only 5. His father was then a County Police Constable.
Which, if I were to be an American, would make me eligible for a kilt, bagpipes etc etc.
