Thanks for that Derek You couldn't post your Petrie Rattray Photographs on the site could you? I wonder whether I can identify any of them within my pics. I had some info through - many moons ago from Moira who is descended from David bn 1897 (4 in 1901). Do you know her? As is often the case with myself, unforeseen occurences (healthwise) meant I've not communicated for ages now.
