Dear Norma, thanks for all this information. My grandmother was Georgina Kydd, James' second wife. James was 65 when my father was born. There was another child too, Amy who was born on 1921. I'd be very pleased to have the transcriptions. There are relativesof Arnold Petrie, the one who died in the First World War, in Invercargill. There is John Petrie and his sister Joyce. I think they must be the children of Arnold's brother. Can you advise me about going to the Scottish Records Office. Can anyone go and pay a fee to search the records? I'd love to meet up on the 13 August and may be able to coem to the gathering too.
