Hello Gary
Several of us have considerable detail of the Cables from Forfar, Angus, Scotland. This
family dispersed to several continents: namely New Zealand, S-Africa, Canada and Finland.
many details on these descendants are available.
The port of Geenock (Scotland) was used notably by the New Zealand descendants through
Joseph Cable, b. 30 Apr 1813 in Forfar, Angus, died on 1 Nov 1871 in New Zealand.
Your George Hill/James Cable does not appear on any of our lists. Please supply more
detail - dates, pl. of birth etc.
The Cables of Fofrar also descended to Kent in England and we are interested in finding
connections with this branch which may well be your own.
