Hugh Grant siblings: Meet James Grant
Grant has an older brother, James “Jamie” Grant who happens to be a New York-based investment banker. We do not have much information about his siblings.
Grant, the second son of Fynvola Susan MacLean (née Wickham) and Captain James Murray Grant was born on September 9, 1960, in Hammersmith, London.
During World War II, Colonel James Murray Grant, DSO, his grandpa, was honoured for his valour and leadership at Saint-Valery-en-Caux. Grant’s family history is “a colourful Anglo-Scottish tapestry of warriors, empire-builders, and aristocrats,” according to genealogist Antony Adolph.
Along with Sir Walter Raleigh, William Drummond, 4th Viscount Strathallan, James Stewart, John Murray, 1st Marquess of Atholl, Heneage Finch, 1st Earl of Nottingham, Sir Evan Nepean, and Spencer Perceval’s sister, he also has ancestors who are related to Sir Evan Nepean.
