Hi Sedgewick
I got a copy of George T Minto's birth certificate and he was born in Bellingham at the Whitelee Toll inn.
His father was Robert and Mother Mary Telfer both ended up staying at Wolflee where Robert was Gamekeeper.
George T went on to marry Lily Mckinlay and they had 3 children, Elizabeth, Robert born in Anderson in Glasgow in 1885 February 21st and George T McK. You can see them in the 1891 cencus. In the 1901 George T is a widower and no kids. In 1901 Elizabeth would have been 18, Robert 16 and George 11. I didn't find out what became of the family as George is living on his own.
If it is Robert junior you are following up I can let you have photos if you want them. What relation would you be to Robert? George Telfer McKinlay Minto was my husband's father.
