Many thanks Anne Cheesy

These have been causing a few of us problems, as the surname became used in families *** Harper Killin.

I've located them on FreeCen and thanks for the reminder that some Scottish details may be found there.

Kind Regards - Dave

My goodness, look at the wee children working as Collier &  factory workers - especially the 6 & 8 yr old!  Six! I know it did happen, but to see it so starkly evident on the page, it's quite heart-wrenching!

(PS Harriet, it looks like a 110% match to me  Cheesy )
