A speculative family tree could be:-
Lieutenant Colonel Charles Coote Grant (1825-1914). Grant was an eccentric Protestant Irishman, who served inthe British army in many countries, and ended up in Quebec (1861) and Ontario(1866-1867). In 1867 he was posted to India, but chose instead to retire from the army and settle with his family in Hamilton.He was a self-taught paleontologist who amassed important collections from Paleozoic rocks near Hamilton, and was a founding member of the Geological Section of the Hamilton Association
The whole Grant family appear to have moved around 1830. There are no more births recorded in the Duhallow registers which run to 1870. They possibly emigrated or became RC.
