Dear John
Many thanks for your reply. Like you, most of the information I have at this stage is
sketchy, but I have traced my individual tree back to Thomas Carlyle married to Marion
Hardy. I have the names of the children of Thomas Carlyle and Lydia Pool (from census
records) but that is about it. As you already know James Carlyle went to New Zealand (I
believe by himself) and married Minnie Honeybone. Their son Thomas James Carlyle was my
grandfather. I am the daughter of his son, Ivan James Carlyle. I was born in NZ but am
now living in London.
It is interesting to see you are a decendant of William Brown Carlyle. I have a copy of
Thomas Carlyle's (his brother) death certificate and the informant was a Isabel
Carlyle, sister-in-law who was present at the death. Was she your direct relative?
Any information you have would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Jane Carlyle-Scott
