Dear Mirrin,
Thank you very much for all that.
I actually had most of it, but you've added a few important details.
Anne Eliza Smith and Albert Evelyn are my great grandparents. What is your connection with this family? You can always private me regarding this one.

Hi Brian,  I have just joined this site so I do not know how to contact you.  My husband's great grandfather (John) was Robert Smiths brother. It was known in the family that Robert had gone to St Kitts, but no more than that. I made contact with someone on GRU who supplied me with lots of info regarding  Robert and his family on St Kitts.
I also contacted you regarding re Smith and Finlayson of Haddington.
