Hi all, I found a reference to a seller family of Scottish descent who farmed there in the 1940's, they had three beautiful daughters. No name though. Also reference to a FIKELSTEIN. Hope this helps?

Not sure whether "Fikelstein" is one of your possible relations, and it certainly isn't one of mine. But if it is one of yours, it looks as though the reference was provided orally, by someone with a code i' the doze, as it must surely be FINKELSTEIN!
