Thanks, Fiona.
Yes, I do indeed have the details you mentioned- and many more. I can account for one of the missing Rae brood- Thomas Lorimer Rae. He died at Genessee Falls, New
York, in 1861, aged 21. My suspicion is that he died in the American Civil War (there was a skirmish at Genessee), but have been unable to substantiate this theory. Och well.
Might catch up with you later on the Jardine/ Canonbie connection, when I've rummaged sufficiently on that line.
good hunting...
