Gro site has a birth ref for a James Grant Sep 1860 Hunslet 9b 219 mmn Roebuck.

No marriage found for a James Grant but John Grant married either Martha Roebuck or Martha Secker Sep 1859 Hunslet 9b 249

My money is on Martha Roebuck!

Thank you.

The 1861 Census gives an age of 38 therefore he was born circa 1823.
