I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this question - When my mother's grandparents died, she was sent to live with some "distant" relatives named Drever. As I recall, they had a farm on Westray. My mother's name was Marjory Eliza Henderson and she lived with the Drever family from about 1906 to 1915. Since I didn't pay close attention to her stories when she was around, I can't remember the name of the mother and father, but they had a son about my mother's age called Sandy (he would have been born around 1900). Does anyone on the list descend from this Sandy Drever and can they shed any light on the names of his parents? Thanks in advance for any assistance, Bob Burns
Bob- Have forwarded your query on to some of my distant relatives on Westray- they have solved some puzzles before. cheers Thompson ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 09, 2005 3:26 PM Subject: [Orkney] Re: Drevers of Westray > I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this question - > > When my mother's grandparents died, she was sent to live with some > "distant" > relatives named Drever.
