I should correct my entry by saying that Henrietta Jessie Macfarlane Reid (Lady Lumsden)  was really a great aunt, daughter of George Macfarlane Reid, younger brother to my wife's great grand mother Margery Dill Reid, and sister to Sir George Ranald Macfarlane Reid. I have made entries on another site, ancestry.com.au under a family tree called "Canterbury Tales" which can be picked up by a normal name search on that site, including Lumsden entries for several generations. Sir James Robert Lumsden seems to have spent a lot of his time, judging by newspaper entries, grouse shooting and running an agricultural show. According to one newspaper report he and his 2 sons went grouse shooting and the 2 sons were named in the report as J A Lumsden and G A Lumsden. I have assumed that the J A is the James who has an extensive biography available. The G A presently is a mystery, but if I keep digging around.... There I have made the necessary 2 entries!

would very much love copies of any relevant photos for my wife's family history. my wife's (extended family) cousin was Henrietta Macfarlane Reid the wife of Sir James Robert Lumsden, and she lived on the Arden Estate for decades. Known as Lady Lumsden. Any photos of her in particular would be much appreciated.
