Hi Tom

Thanks for your reply and thanks for the info.

"My" Thomas Thomson is different to the one drowned with the Queensland.

I'd be grateful if you could send a copy of the death certificate for James Mackie.

I'll posta couple of times so that we can use the pm system. Not sure what that is though!

Alan

Hi

I'm a distant relative of James Mackie. His brother Thomas is my maternal grandmother's father. He would have been my Granny's uncle.

His parents were William Mackie and Janet McHardy.

Thanks for your post as it was a motivator in getting me to check my family history to see if there was a link to James Mackie.

My great granddad Thomas married a Jane Thomson who's father was Thomas Thomson, also a fisherman. I'm trying to find if he was the Thomas Thomson that also died in the sinking.

All the best
