Is it possible that Ralph and Jennie Bjork's "daughter" Dorothy, mentioned in these messages was really Norman's cousin Dorothy Bjork, daughter of Otto Bjork?  I always believed that Otto's daughter Dorothy (b. 02-06-1903 In NH) lived with Ralph Bjork and the rest of the extended Bjork family at 30 Hamilton St in Hartford after Otto's wife died and Otto and children moved to Hartford. Is this possible or am I confusing two different Dorothys?

Francis Binnie (1856-1920), from the Tryst Raod in Stenhousemuir, was my great- great grandfather.  His daughters (including my great grandmother) were very musically inclined.  There was more than one Francis Binnie in the Stenhousemuir/Larbert area, which makes tracing family trees complicated, but do you believe this might be the same one?  He was an iron moulder by trade and his wife's name was Jane.

Asylum Orchestra. Dr.Macpherson intimates that there was now an orchestra in the asylum for the purpose of supplying music at the weekly dances and balls for the patients during the winter months. Up till the present the music had been supplied by Francis Binnie, Stenhousemuir, who for the past year, along with James Clarke, cornet player, had assisted the asylum orchestra. It was now the desire of the members of the asylum band that no outsiders be asked to help them. It was agreed to give Binnie notice that his services would no longer be required. In respect of his long connection with the asylum a bonus of £5 was agreed to be paid to Binnie on his retiring.
