Hi Glenn. Very many thanks for taking a look and I’m sorry to have wasted your time as you couldn’t find any.

Hi Margaret. Thanks, I have all of those. It’s Sinclairs prior to 1800 that I’ve been unable to trace, apart from a few in the “Upwood and the Raveleys” parish records, and even then I’ve no idea where they originally came from. I haven’t’ been able to find out where Arthur’s wife Barbara Grandison came from either. But I do know, from my half-sister, that after Harry died in 1933 she went back to Edinburgh, Scotland. So it seems she had Scottish ancestry.
