Henry's father was Mark Whitmarsh (1805-1899) and his mother was Harriet (1805abt-1875). As far as I know, he had seven siblings. He married Emily Rideout in 1862 and they had 9 children.

Where do you fit into this family? It would be helpful to know.

I have info on his descendants and his father and grandfather as part of my one-name study of Whitmarsh. What do you want to know?

Hello Jackie

I was interested to see your post re Crombie and Thornton Castle. My mother was a Crombie and descended from the Alexander Crombie you mentioned. What is your connection to the family?

Thornton Castle was bought by Alexander Crombie  (1776 -1832) a successful Aberdeen attorney in 1804. He restored it but died in 1832, when it transferred to his cousin Alexander Crombie (1760-1840). It then stayed in the family until it was sold back to the Thornton family in 1893.

I am descended from Francis Crombie (1838-1925) the brother of the Alexander you mention. Alexander's wife (the Jessie you mention) was I believe called Elizabeth Marshall (1850-1885).

I would be interested in any information you have on other branches of the family.

Rupert
