« on: Thursday 06 January 11 13:48 GMT (UK) »

He will be sadly missed by those friends he made when answering Kincardineshire queries.

Sorry to hear that.  Isles has helped me a few times with relatives.

Thanks and goodbye to my 3rd cousin once removed that I never met but helped me out.

Oh dear I am so sad to hear that Isles has passed away.

We shared our joint Burness ancestry for some time and I shall miss him.  :'(

RIP Isles and hope you now have all the answers you've been seeking.

I'm also sad to hear of his passing.

He helped me greatly while I was researching my Gove ancestors from Gourdon, Johnshaven & St Cyrus.

He will be sadly missed.

A true gentleman who will be greatly missed.
 Isles was my 2nd cousin through the Dickson/Beattie family of Johnshaven.
Met him only once at a small family reunion in Johnshaven, he had cycled down from 'Bervie for the occasion.
Felt like I had known him all my life, a real couthie man.
Sleep soundly Isles.

I am so sad to hear this news; Isles was of great help to me with part of my Scottish ancestry and went out of his way to help me.

He will be sadly missed.

Rest in Peace
