I wonder if there is a connection to Gillespie or Graham families.

The other Grainger family in my tree came from Weston Colville and they settled in Yass and Tumut.

So wrong family ?

I can shed some light on Graingers and Finlays in Falkirk, Janet and archie are great grandparents of mine, they lived in Falkirk and worked in a local foundry as dressers and iron moulders, they lived two streets apart when they met, Kennard St and Adams Street in Falkirk
