Hi again

The Sinclairs are my husband's family and James Sinclair was his great, great grandfather so I assume there is a family relationship somewhere.  My husband is Bob Sinclair, ex Principal of Banff and Buchan College.  His great grandfather was George who had 3 brothers, James, William and Alexander and 3 sisters, Mary (who I believe is buried at Peathill Cemetery), Margaret and Jane. 

I'm currently trying to piece together the John Sinclair children and also his siblings if possible.  If I find any further information I'll be back in touch.  I'm also willing to share any information that I have gathered so far.

Regards

BlackBat

Ah yes - I know who Bob Sinclair is. We must be quite closely related as I've heard my grandfather mention the connection to Bob.
My great grandmother was Isabella Watson Sinclair (1895-1976). I think we are related through one of her brothers? Her father was George Sinclair (1868-1945)?

Your husband's grandfather, Charles Sinclair, was the brother of my great grandmother Isabella Sinclair (Bella Watt).
