Dear Donald

I am related to the Dunbars of Hempriggs and also to the
Sinclairs - I would really appreciate if you could keep me
informed of any information you receive as I have no knowledge
of the history of this particular group, other than my relationship
to the Sinclair + Dunbar families.
I have a William Sinclair born about 1832 in Dunnet - are we
related. I encl more Sinclair detail.
My Sinclair ancestors:
 
William Sinclair B 23\9\1832 Dunnet
married Robertina Dunbar B 12\8\1838 (illegitimate?
daughter of the Hon Robert Dunbar of Hempriggs)
                 |
Isabella Sinclair B 22\1\1858 Latheron Scot
married John Anderson (B 5\12\1858 Banff)
