Hi Jonathan. I'm happy to give you my direct email. I'm liz's daughter and jane's niece or to be precise Annie Hunter Gordon and Alexander Forbes' great granddaughter! We're all together for the weekend and my typing is fastest so messaging on their behalf!. (*)
If we can we'll get you a photo of the dedication to J and R Allen mentioned before. Looking forward to hearing from you again. Kate.

Hi Jonathan. We found your enquiry via an Internet search while also looking into J and R Allan drapers of Edinburgh. Robert Allan is a relative of ours but as yet we haven't managed to link him into the family tree precisely. Our great grandparents were Jane Forbes Paterson b 1838(? a relative of the Paterson and Smith shop bought by J and R Allan for extension in 1920? - see house of Fraser archive) and John Gordon. Our grandmother was their daughter Annie Hunter Gordon who married Alexander Forbes and lived at of Arabella, Nigg. The name Allan first appears with their son Robert Allan Forbes b1909 our uncle. We have a painted dedication from the staff of J and R Allan in recognition of his services. We would be very interested in any photos that you may have for example the family at Minto street. Jane and Liz.
