Hi everyone I am a Grandison living in Scotland. My grandfather has been working on a family tree. Our Grandison family has been in scotland for over 150years (as far as we can trace back) and we have patches going back even further.

If anyone has any information linking to Grandisons in Scotland please get in touch at tanisg@hotmail.co.uk

Grandison and Gray Families in Dundee, Scotland, about 1840 to 1860

nannken — 2008-07-07 23:12:46Z

I am looking for information linking these two families

David Gray, b 1846 in Dundee, was my Gt. Gt. Grandfather; I have traced the family back to the 1871 Census. The likely person on the 1861 Census shows David as a boarder with Ann Grandeson but on the 1851 Census she is shown as his mother and the name is written as Grandison. Not being able to see actual Census pages on line is a real hindrance.

I would appreciate any information on either family and any possible connection

My father never talked much about his family. My father, Lopel George Grandison was born in Jamaica. My brother and I were born in the US. I am trying to find out more about my father's family. My father always told me his family was originally from Scotland. Looking for some help. Contact me at sorayajosiah@aol.com. Thank you.

There were a number of Black Grandisons in Hardy County, WV (used to be Virginia). They were slaves to the Clagett family in Wardensville, West Virginia until approximately 1860 or so. Do you know of any Grandisons that were taken into slavery from the Islands?

Amanda Grandison

FamilyLost — 2006-12-04 19:10:33Z

Does anyone have knowledge of an Amanda Grandison that married an Al Lewis? According to my grandfather's Social Security application these were the names of his parents. He also states he was born in Butte, MT on March 14, 1881. I'm not sure how much of this information is accurate but would appreciate any info you may have. Thanks!

James,
Have you run across any Grandisons who ended up in Virginia 1750-1800. When did they immigrate?
Many thanks,
Patsy Campbell

Re: Grandison

patriciacampbell1305 — 2006-03-07 14:39:34Z

Does anyone have a record of ANY Grandisons that ended up in VIRGINIA between 1750-1800?

Re: Grandison

2006-01-11 05:31:59Z

Thanks Janet. From what i know that Grandison's came to scotland from Norway, they were three bothers, walter, robert and john. What happened after that is a mystery. My grandfather was one of 11 children of which he was the only boy. His full names is Walter John Sheills Grandison, he married a Margret Wilson and they had 2 children, margret and walter (my father). I'm not sure if this will help you with your search, but is you come across any, please let me know.

Re; Stephen Rowley's request of Dec.1999, my maiden name is Grandison, I was born in Scotland, but am now a Canadian Citizen. I would like to hear from anyone with a commond interest in the Grandisons.

Dewar — 2003-02-24 20:20:58Z

Tony, I have been working on my family tree..can you give me more details, the names of your father and his siblings,and that of your grandfather, where your grandfather was born, anything that might help determine whether your family is related to mine...thanks.....Janet

Grandison

Dewar — 2003-02-24 20:20:58Z

Tony: thank you for getting back to me..I asked about the names of your family for a specific reason and this may help you in your search for family..in Scotland up until my generation, children were named according to the following practice: 1st son named after father's father; 1st daugther named after mother's mother; second son called after mother's father and second daughter named after father's mother...this way the same names keep showing up generation after generation...unfortunately none of the names of your father's siblings show up in any of the family I have so far discovered....My grandfather was born in MidCalder near Edinburgh 1891, his name was Dewar Grandison, his siblings Isabella, William, Alice and Robina..His parents, Thomas Grandison and Robina Yates, grandparents James Grandison and Alice Byrde..I have not yet investigated the siblings of Thomas...James and Alice lived in Bo'ness, East Lothian Scotland, he was a seaman. Before starting out on this journey of discovery I had never met anyone who's name was Grandison, either in Scotland or here in Canada, so naturally I thought there were very few of us around, and we must all be related,how wrong I was. I wish I could help you more...I have had a lot of success with Scots Origins, you have to pay for the information but it comes from the Registrar's office in Edinburgh...if you have the name of an ancestor born before 1900 in Scotland and if you have an idea of the location you may be able to track him down....good luck.....Janet(Grandison)Beech

Dewar — 2003-02-24 20:20:58Z

Tony: very interesting, my grandfather's name was Dewar Yates Grandison...I have heard from a cousin in Scotland who has acquired some information on the family tree, which she will be sending on to me...of course it could be my grandmother's side rather than the Grandison side, but I will keep you posted...I will be writing to her to-day (snail mail) and will ask if she has anything on a Jack Yates Grandison (could that be John)...I am living just north of Barrie, Ontario...which is an hour's drive north of Toronto...I will be in touch....my e-mail address is janetb@infinity.net....Janet

My great grandfather's name is Charles T. Grandison. He was born in Barbados around Oct 1880(2), location unknown. He later married Mary Beckles and they both moved to Guyana. From what I recalled my grandmother did say he had some relatives in Jamaica and Trinidad also. Any info will be greatly appreciated.
