He left Kapunda briefly in 1876, following a promotion, but subsequently returned after representations from the local community who found his successor was unable to control the activities of the miners. In 1857, Grant married Caroline Gregory (1836-1868), with whom he had four children: Adolphus Gregory (1859-1859), Amelia Louisa (1861-1912), Caroline Maud (1863-1865), and Albert William Sidney (1867-1942). Following the death of Caroline Wilkins (nee Gregory) in 1868, Albert Grant married Elizabeth Wilkins (1846-1941), with whom he had a further nine children: Amy Wilkins (1870-1913), Ethel May (1872-1943), Alfred Reginald (1874-1957), Elsie Gertrude (1876-1945), Ida Kathleen (1878-1896), William Cecil Ulysses (or Ulysses William Cecil, 1881-1963), Cyril Stock (1883-1967), Laurel Jane (1885-1971), and Keith Ethelbert (1891-1921). Elizabeth Grant (nee Wilkins) was the daughter of Harriett Stock (1814-1896) and William Wilkins, Esq (1822-1904), a farmer with a property at Bugle Ranges (SA). Ulysses Grant had five daughters - Mary Edna (b. 1912), Eulie Kathleen (born 1914, died 1927 of childhood diabetes), Dorothy Cora (b. 1916), Marjorie Ruth (born 1918) and Flora Elizabeth (b. 1920).
