Thank you so much, Diane. This certainly clears up the birth year of ROBERT IRELAND as I knew both he and his sister GRACE IRELAND could not have been born in 1881 just a few months apart. Maybe I need new specs! Now if I could just find who the parents were for CHARLOTTE IRELAND , married to Captain Herbert Morris Johnstone, M.N. (died Duncraig, Auchencairn 8.3.1971 aged 67), I could feel justified for spending so much time trying to fit her into this huge Hyslop/Clint/Ireland puzzle. Scotlandspeople was a bust, as they say!
