His dad worked as a Cattleman on Castle Grant Home Farm. His siblings were Elizabeth,Caroline,Isabel,Ann,Joe,Louis,Donald and possibly another 1 child which I don't know their name. My grandad also worked on same farm as his dad and later on, on the railways. Any info much appreciated. His date of birth was 09/03/1901

Any marriage, births and deaths after 1855 can be found on Scotlands People.... you will have to pay to view their records but it is quick and cheap compared to ordering an English certificate.

Thank you ever so much for taking the time and effort to search for my dad's family. Unfortunately the only member of that family still alive is my dad's half brothers wife and son,so only limited info available. Don't suppose you found any info on William Leslie born 1901 marrying a Joan McKinch and having a son Arthur born on 6th July 1923 probably in Grantown-On-Spey or around that area.
