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.
Regards Heather
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.

Are you related by blood to John Dickson Hastie?

Looking for information on my family . John Dickson Hastie died 16th December 1934 in the Station House , Peebles . He was the stationmaster but I'm not sure at which of the two stations he worked . His wife Annie died in Peebles in 1950 . They had four children including my grandfather . William Hastie who died in Edinburgh , Mary Ford Hastie born 17 Graham Street, Peebles , Philip Martin Hastie born Peebles 1911 and died Peebles 1995 , and John Dickson Hastie born Peebles 1908 and died Peebles 1965 . There was also Hart Hastie who played rugby for Scotland but have no more info on him . Any information , gravestone pictures and transcripts , or if you knew them any memories you would be very welcome .
Found this site by accident, amazing. Mary Ford Hastie was my grandmother. She died in Carnoustie, Scotland, on 29th December 2003, aged 99 and a half (exactly). She spent the last few years of her life in a retirement home, near my Dad's (her son's) home.

My Dad has photos of many family members, including Mary's father (one taken at 'his' railway station, if I remember correctly).

Please get in touch if you are still looking for information.
