You're welcome. You never know you'll probably get that far back
eventually!

Good luck,

Many thanks

Hi Elaine

Thank you for the info.

Not sure yet if there is a link with my Fife Steedmans who lived Kinghorn/Kirkcaldy/Abbotshall/Linkstown (and possibly Aucherderran before that) but will check things out.

My reply was also delayed because of my trip home to Scotland.  What a popular holiday destination! Hope you enjoyed your trip as much as I did mine.

Thanks again - it's much appreciated.

best wishes
