Re: Thomas Grieve and His Parents (Missing Records)
All I could find for a surveying John Grieve were some entries about a fellow from Smailholm who had been a Land Surveyor and a part time author. In 1873 he went a bit off the rails.

Re: Ella Mary Maclennan
Some things to consider. A British woman who married a German citizen ceased to be British and became a German citizen.

Re: Ridge Park Children's Home and Dunavon Children's Home
Hello Gary, and Welcome to TalkingScot. You could try the British Newspaper Archive. A search there for Dunavon and Strathaven brings up quite a few results.
