Hi, my name is Charles Speakman, I am a direct descendant of Sir Harry. Is there any chance we could speak privately about the history of the family? I have spent many hours trying to find out as much as I can, however the picture becomes rather blurred after his death.

Thank you for your interest in our family, I hope you are well!

Hi i am a direct descendant of Earnest Vernon and sir Harry. I am also interested in the family history and may be able to help fill in some gaps.
I would be really interested in any information in the McGregor line going back last Peter McGregor of Larne as there is some interesting family lore…
If anyone wish to contact directly please do
