Hello Ken,
I think we may have corresponded some years ago re our mutual Sinclair relations. Rab has just sent me the link to your recent chat about Moncrieff who has / have puzzled me a bit too. There seems to have been more than one of them. I have printed off a copy of the chat pages and will study them with interest.
You will be interested to know that I have now fallen into line with Rab's conclusions about which George Sinclair married Mary Temple in 1826 (it was a second marriage after his first wife Christian Tod died in 1822), and that George Sinclair who married Margery Heron was not the same man. As you will recall, George Sinclair (1800 - 1875) and Margery Heron (1800 - 1877) along with 4 children came to New Zealand in 1857. In recent months I set myself the task of researching their descendants in this country and have added quite a number of names and biographical information to my database. There is no evidence here that the NZ George was married to anyone other than Margery. I have also been pursuing the descendants of Christian Sinclair and Andrew Mackenzie in NZ. If you want to see the new data I can send you an invitation to view my tree on Ancestry.com.

I take it you have moved on from Leeds? Somewhere here I have a photo of our visit to your mother in Kirkcaldy in 2004. We haven't been back to the UK since then but may do so next year as our daughter and son-in-law (now both naturalised Brits as well as being kiwis!) are still in London.
Looking forward to catching up again.
Regards
