Hello Isabel

My husband is connected to this family. Donald Hendry and Margaret Sinclair's daughter Elizabeth was his 1st great-grandmother who married George Bain. I have Donald's parent's as Donald Hendry and Elizabeth Clark (taken from Donald jnr's death cert 28/10/1897 Hillhead, Lybster). I haven't got any further back than that. How do you connect to this family? Hoping that you are descended from another of the above's children. I didn't have Margaret's marriage - thank you for that. I can give lots more info. Do you want to contact me privately?

Best wishes
Miranda
