I think I should just hand over my family tree to Sandra, sit back and let her get on with it!

Thank you so much.

Yes, the McGregor family at 103 Shore St, Fraserburgh in 1901 is indeed the family of Helen (Nellie).

My G-Grandfather John Simpson was the illegitimate son of Isabella Simpson, who subsequently married William Will. There was very little contact between the Simpson and Will descendants, and until now I knew nothing about the likes of William Patterson Dunlop (d 2011) and Frank Hatfield (d 2009) who were also descended from Isabella Simpson and were actually my second cousins. I suppose it illustrates the benefits of starting family history research early.  :(
