Tea is not the most traditional drink to associate with Scots but it does seem to keep cropping up in records. The cup that cheers! In 1891 William David Douglas b 1873 in Liverpool, (son of Martin b 1838 in Wigtown)was a Tea Merchant's clerk in Liverpool, possibly working for William Atkinson or for the Parker/Park family. This family was reputed to have come from Wigtown some years earlier to work in the 'Tea Business' somewhere 10 miles from Liverpool. A correspondent referred to 'Parker Tea' as though it were a brand name. Maybe someone else might have more on the family?
