NotesA birth registration was found for Mabel Grant; Year of Registration: 1874; Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep; District: Derby; County: Derbyshire; Volume: 7b; Page: 474. (Parents: George Nelson Grant and Mary Hannah Copeland, married 1868.)

In 1881, Mabel Grant, 5 years of age, was shown residing at 10 Carpenter Street, Perthshire, Scotland, with her parents Mary Grant, 28, and Nelson Grant, 39, Army Pensioner. (1881 Census of Scotland, Perth East Church, Perthshire; ED: 1; Household schedule number: 73; Line: 7; Roll: 1881_109.)

In 1889, Mabel Grant, 14, arrived in Quebec, Canada, along with 16 girls, from Mrs. Blaikie's Emigration House, 6 Lauriston Lane, Edinburgh, Scotland, en route to Mr. Wallace, Belleville, Ontario, Canada. It is not known why, but Mabel's sister Effie Grant apparently had arranged the emigration.

On November 8, 1894, at Belleville Methodist Church, Hastings, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between Mabel Grant and another home child, (John) Stephen Geoghan (aka Gagan).

Their first child, Laura Maud, was born in Hastings County, Ontario, Canada, in 1896. The family left Canada in 1900 and went to Scotland.

Mabel and Stephen Gagan had six more children in Scotland: Alfred Stephen, born 11 May 1902, Anderston, Glasgow Scotland; Edward (Teddy), born 1904, 41 Richard Street, Glasgow, Scotland; Nelson Grant, born, 1907, Pattison Street, Dalmuir, Scotland; George Copeland, born 1909, Pattison Street, Dalmuir, Scotland; Mabel Louise, born 5 Oct 1912, Pattison Street, Dalmuir, Scotland; and Horace, born 1915, Pattison Street, Dalmuir, Scotland.
