Alfred was born in Scotland 1900 but the family moved to Canada then America and this is the info I was given yesterday

In the electoral role for 1934, Orange County, there is an Alfred A Grant, trimmer democrat living at 1380 East Walnut Avenue with George Grant, rancher, republican. .
.
George is not there by 1940 but a Mrs. Annie P Grant appears a few years later. In 1966 there is also an Andrew T Grant.

Are you sure of Alfred's date of birth or are you assuming from the electoral document?

If this is your Alfred, you would need to know the date of marriage to apply for his marriage certificate with the California Vital Records Office.

The Grant family is living on East Walnut Avenue in Orange, CA. Isabella is sister to George. George is a janitor, oil fields and Alfred is a builder in Auto? It states that George and Alfred immigrated to the States in 1913 or 15 and as of 1920 they were not naturalized but George did petition to become a naturalized citizen. Isabella immigrated in 1918.
