Hi scott , Thank you for your reply to my post in Jan 2013. Sorry about the delay in
replying but life had sort of overtaken me for a while. Still back on ancestry now.I think
I may have been in touch with a relative of yours Joanne Taylor( you have the same
surname? She replied to my post as well and I think we are definitely talking about the
same person, Harry Farquhar Calder was my great grandfather on my dads side. He appears to
be the father of Farquhar calder your great grandfather.He was not married to Mary Skinner
Smith and consequently that made Farquhar illegitimate. I have lots of info about HFC if
you are interested and his subsequent life and family. I have also traced a little about
Farquhar's mother whom i believe went on to have other illegitimate children before
marrying a robert weir in 1896 in Motherwell
If any of this makes sense please feel free to reply
Kind regards
Shelagh Wootten (nee Parker)
