  Thanks for that link, very, very interesting. It appears that the Fletts were of some importance in Pultneytown. Is there a link to appendix 2, the photographs ?
  I will have to go and have a  look next time north.
  Our David Flett, a " farmer " married Catherine Waters/Nicolson born 1889, an illegitimate child of a Bower farming family in 1902. By 1911, they were separate and Catherine married again in 1912 (and a third husband later).
  Catherine went on to business success in the hotel industry. We have been wondering if her capital came down from the "naughty" father's family, who were at one time estate owners (Gordons of Swiney)
