Hello A K Sinclair was my grandfather. His father, Archibald Sinclair b.1855, was an engineer in the shipyards on the Clyde in Scotland. He travelled to Kimberley where he became a mining Engineer. It is thought he was with De Beers. His wife was Annie Sinclair (MS King). Their son, Archibald King Sinclair, was baptised in Kimberley and I have a date of 15.06.1887. I believe the 3 of them later travelled to New Brunswick in Canada, where Annie King may have died. Archibald Sinclair and his son returned to Scotland and were re-united with their family by the time of the 1901 Census. A K Sinclair graduated MA from Glasgow University in 1911 and became a teacher. Sadly, he was killed fighting with the Black Watch regiment in Mesopotamia in the First World War. By the time he married my grandmother in 1915, both his parents had died. He himself was killed in 1916, shortly after my father was born in Glasgow. So my father (Archibald James) never met his own father or his paternal grandparents. There was quite a knowledge gap. I have been tracing my Scottish family history relatively successfully on Scotland's People, but I am very keen to get as much information as I can on the South African and Canadian episodes of these Sinclairs. I would be grateful for any help. Thank you. Archie Sinclair (yes, another Archibald! b.1947) 43 Ellers Avenue Doncaster DN4 7DY United Kingdom tel. 01302 538225
