       -notably that of my cousin Donald Henderson Sinclair whose father was
John 'Jack'
       Henderson Sinclair just as his grandfather was John Henderson Sinclair.

       I had the original* of Henderson's History of Caithness but, alas, it
has disappeared
       without trace and, as I am at home at the moment recovering from a knee
operation,
       I haven't access to my other books which are either in London or in
Caithness.#

       However, if Milamba or my cousin, Donald, read this exchange they will
be able to 
        fill in the gaps.
