Hello Ron, Funny thing - turns out my grandfather actually knew Alexander FLETCHER, his son Neil and 2 other sons Calum and Alex! Both my parents knew Calum. We are somehow related, but not sure how - my grandfather's name was Alex FLETCHER too. I can tell you more later, but around 1913 my grandfather, then aged 23, was employed at a farm called Cononish near Tyndrum. Your FLETCHERs were living in the house at Cononish and employed there too. Oddly enough, years later in the mid 1930s, my grandfather was again employed at Cononish and my Dad has many happy memories of that place. I had the pleasure of visiting Cononish and talking with it's present owner this past September. I have pictures of the house your FLETCHERs (and later mine) lived in. Mary Fletcher Harris Canada
