Margaret Murray is the daughter of Donald Murray and Margaret Mackay of Rhemusaig. James is a son of Alexander Grant and Ann Mackenzie. James Grant was shown living in Rhemusaig on the 1822 Dornoch list of all male persons residing within the Parish of Dornoch excluding servants. (Rhemusaig is in Rogart although for many years classed as part of Dornoch parish).
In 1841 James and Margaret were in Rhemusaig, living next door to William Murray and Kate Grant (my 3 x great grandparents], William being Margaret’s brother. The 1851 and 1861 census records show James on his own at Rhemusaig farming three acres. His home had four rooms with windows. Living next door was Hugh Grant who appears to be his son. Margaret Murray and James Grant both died at Rhemusaig.
