Hello Robert,

My dad will be chuffed to read this. We had no idea that he made cellos as well. They must be beautiful instruments by the way they are described.
Sounds like he was a perfectionist - something that seems to run in the family.

Thanks for this info. Very, very interesting.

 :)

Hi Carole,
The MacKenzies, James and Mary (Gatherer) are my GGG grand parents. Mary Ellis, their daughter (Mary Wood Mackenzie) is my GG granny, born 13th October 1855.
I didn't know that her sister Martha had a child named after their brother Frederick.
Also, their mother Mary Gatherer did die about a month after the birth of her last daughter Isabella. Mary Gatherer died on 12th February 1864 at 10 o'clock p.m. The baby Isabella sadly died on the 1st July 1864 at 4.00 a.m.

Hello Blue_Ian and AGMcD,

I came across your information concerning the Dyker family one night.

Just to let you know that William, who married Elizabeth McKay, died in Cobham, Surrey. They were my great grandparents.

Charles and Isabella (nee Mclaren) are buried in a small churchyard in Glass called Walla Kirk (St Walloch's Church). There are other Dykers there too.

I haven't done much research for a while, but I will see if I can dig out what I have.

While I remember, my father has always said that a George Dyker was a maker of fiddles. I'm not sure if this is William's brother or not, but apparently there are Dyker fiddles out there somewhere.

I hope this post works as it is my first attempt.  :)
