Sorry about the size of the first photo, I tried to amend it but I'm not managing to get rid of it!  Photo 2 is the same stone, cropped and reduced.

Dear Ann,
Thank-you for your prompt response and kind wishes. I shall see if this particular James Mackison fits the bill (Through the process of this family history research, I have come to the conclusion that there are more James mackisons than John Smiths.)

Sincerely,
Steven

I have just registered with RootsChat and noticed the message from Steven.  I think the James Mackison he refers to is my great great grandfather and the William Mackison is the elder brother of my great grandfather Thomas Finlayson Mackison.  The latter left Scotland for Lancashire and after being in banking moved into cotton weaving.  He married twice and had a daughter Caroline, who was my grandmother.  Thomas died in 1898 at 56.

Dear Sheila?
They are one and the same! How good to hear (of) from a distant relative. Would you happen to know of other descendants of Thomas Finlayson Mackison from either of his marriages. I am trying to build a family tree, which at this point is about the size of a Douglas Fir. I have managed to trace 4 generations back form Thomas Finlayson Mackison. If you would like, I would be happy to send you the Gedcom or paf file. If you would like to reach me directly, my email address is (*)

Sincerely,

Steven

P.S. As you may know Mackison family history tracing is difficult since most of the Mackisons changed there name to Maxwell in the 1750's and then back to Mackison again in the 1840's (although not all returned to their former Mackison patronymic)

This is part of my family and my father can provide detailed information that you need, if you don't already have it.
