« on: Tuesday 10 August 10 03:01 BST (UK) »I have only just read your message. Better late than never!! You might already have this info. John Dickson Hastie b. 1880 Tweedmouth Berwick on Tweed . He was my mother's Uncle. He married Annie Henderson Hart. They had 5 children William , Mary Ford, Martin Philip, John Dickson Hart, and Annie Ruth. John Dickson Hart did indeed play rugby for Scotland. Annie Ruth was a witness at the wedding of her sister Mary.This man - your mother's uncle - was my great great grandmother. I never knew her (I was born in 1960) but I knew her daughter (Mary Ford Hastie) as she was my Gran (d.2003) - my Dad's mother. She moved to Newcastle-upon-Tyne (1930 ish?), married a man called Allan MacLaren (d.1966), who had 3 children - all still alive - one of whom is my father.
