Hello All Thankyou very much to the people who replied to my question. The following is a summary, in case anyone else needs the information: A WRITER is a Solicitor, Lawyer, Notary; to do with the law; also Writer to the Signet. Wrote out Wills and Estate Inventories Thankyou also for the suggestions on where to find out more. I'm a bit stunned, as the sons and grandsons were soldiers and commercial clerks. Appreciate everyone's help. What a great list! Jean

Much obliged! Jean, and I am glad you were able to get a response from the many "kind souls". --manaia __ == --- Jean Campbell <jeancampbell@optusnet.com.au> wrote: > Hello All > Thankyou very much to the people who replied to my > question. > The following is a summary, in case anyone else > needs the information: > A WRITER is a Solicitor, Lawyer, Notary; to do with > the law; also Writer to the Signet. > Wrote out Wills and Estate Inventories > > Thankyou also for the suggestions on where to find > out more. > I'm a bit stunned, as the sons and grandsons were > soldiers and commercial clerks. > Appreciate everyone's help.
