Hi
I'd love to speak to any descendants of the SINCLAIR family, originally from Kirkwall, Orkney.
Robert Sinclair 1836 married Isabella Knox 1837 at Newcastle Reg Office in 1857.
Two sons, Robert Knox Sinclair and John Sinclair, both had tobacco companies in Newcastle.
The Robert Sinclair Tobacco Co building still stands, although it's expensive apartments now.
I'm up to date with the family as far as 1901 census, but would love to know where they ended up today.

Great - Will do some research and ask my mother to see if she can throw any light on Selwood House. I am not aware of any relatives in Haydon Bridge, but again will look to see what I can find. Like you I am 4 generations down the line.

Hi I see you have got back to 1799 with your paternal tree line on the side of Robert. I am trying to see if this line is the brother of John Sinclair, my great, great grandfather. Would you be willing to share this information?

I am also interested in information on John Sinclair, tobacco manufacturer in Newcastle upon Tyne in the late 19th century. It's possible he was also my great great grandfather, through his son James. I am trying to confirm if my great grandfather is the James Sinclair who was living in New Zealand in the early 20th century.
This James Sinclair was living in the same area in NZ as his brother, Stephen Edward Sinclair (the latter described in an NZ newspaper article of the time as the youngest son of the late John Sinclair of Newcastle Upon Tyne).
