      Notes:

      (Dad - I need your full-page write-up here. I forgot that it was in the book I returned to you.)

      Charles was born at Melsetter in the Orkney Islands, and immigrated to Canada to start a wool business. He travelled for his business, and was living in Topeka Kansas at the time of his wedding in 1905, and the birth of his first child Muriel in 1906. By 1909 he was living in St. Hyacynthe, Quebec, when Dunbar was born. He eventually moved to Oakville, where he lived the rest of his life.

      Charles married Katherine Parr Strickland Traill on 25 Mar 1905 in Lakefield, Ontario, Canada. Katherine (daughter of Thomas Henry Strickland ("Harry") Traill and Lilias Grant Maclean) was born on 15 Oct 1867 in Lakefield, Ontario, Canada; died on 14 Feb 1956 in Oakville, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetary, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

      Notes:

      John was the final Heddle to be Laird of Melsetter; he sold the estate to Thomas Middlemore of Hawkesley and retired to his estate at Cletts, South Ronaldsay (I'm guessing that this is the same estate that his great grandfather John Heddle originally owned, but i can't be sure).

      He was Justice of the Peace for the County of Orkney.

      Notes:

      I suspect that:

      - when widowed, she kept the name Lillias Grant Traill
      - she gave up her baby Kate to be raised by her husband's mother Catharine Parr Traill
      - she remarried in 1881 Arthur Joseph Falkner, who was born 1835 in Hamilton
      - by 1901 she was widowed again, and was a lodger in in Brandon Manitoba under the name Lillias Falkner
      - she had a total of 9 siblings
