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.)

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.
