Thomas, I only want to comment on the thank your message. It happens far too seldom on here and on the Technical page.

Well done.

Thank you for your help.
Yes, thank you. The information on Ann Rendall was useful.

I am also looking for information on the ancestors of James Brochie Groat born 1875 in Westray, Orkney I believe he moved to Edinbrough just after 1900, had two children with Anne Rendall (Jeanie and James Broatchie II). He then immigrated to Canada in approximately 1906, I believe his father, James Groat was born in Westray in 1837.

Yours,
