    4 "Heddle's Farm" is now a historic site in Sierra Leone. See: http://www.welcometosierraleone.org/heritage-sites.asp#Heddle

    From that link:
    HEDDLE'S FARM (1948)
    This was the site of a house, which commanded a fine view over Freetown. It is found on the old Leicester Road and dates from 1820. This was a prominent residence, which is now in ruins. It belonged to several notable citizens before passing finally in 1859 to the Hon. Charles Heddle, a leading businessman and pioneer in the groundnut trade. Until it was abandoned, it was in turn a private residence; the country residence of the Governor; a convalescent home; the home of some Commissary Judges (Mrs. Melville, who was the wife of one of the judges, wrote " A Residence at Sierra Leone"). Heddle sold it to the Government and it was last used as the Residence of the Comptroller of Forestry, when the extensive gardens were maintained by the Forestry Department. Sometime between 1962 and 1966, Heddles Farm became part of the Botanical Gardens of Fourah Bay College.

    6 "Pops" McArthur was a died-in-the-wool alcoholic, waking up each morning to a glass of whiskey placed there by his daughter Eleanor. He was a well-known feature of The Beaches area in Toronto where he lived. He used to sit on his front porch in the morning, sipping his whiskey. People would walk by and say "See ya later, Pops" and he would reply "Sure, at Sharon's" which was the local funeral parlor.

    This was no doubt the reason why his wife Nellie picked up and left. She didn't take the kids, she left on her own, leaving the kids to fend for themselves. Pops couldn't do much to provide, so as the eldest son it fell to Jack and he was working at a very early age. He took on this responsibility so his sister Eleanor could continue school.

    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.

    11 A letter by John Heddle to Patsy's sons:
    --

    Time is too short for me to come or to send a physical letter, I fear.

    For my most enjoyable summer, ever, in 1956 when I was 16, I was privileged to be the "Wood, Mail, and Ice" boy at Norway Point, a sort of half-time slave to Jane, occasional helper to Aunt Sally, and sometime annoyance to Uncle George. During July of this lovely sojourn, there was a constant buzz about what would happen "when Patsy arrives", which she did in time for the long weekend in August. No mention had been made of the quiet, wonderful, Norman nor of the four - FOUR - loud and active boys and a young girl helper at least in the same tone of voice as to impress deeply.

    What a change in atmosphere! Notwithstanding the demands of motherhood before electricity, in three days she had the dingy - the one that I had just spent several days sanding, varnishing, and bailing - in the regatta and won third place, solo. I had yet to hoist its sail. The rest of my life was spent in undying admiration of her energy, spirit, and wisdom. For many years, we visited from Kleinburg in the winter for skiing, tobogganing, tea, and conversations.

    A great moment, remembered ever so vividly was when she stood in the aisle, hand raised at first, and stopped the funeral directors from removing the casket at Norman's funeral until "When The Saints Go Marching In" was finished so that Norman would hear all of it.

    Luckily, we had talked by telephone in July and her voice was cheery though quavering.

    We have all suffered a great loss, you four obviously the most. We will never forget her and always love her memory.

    Sincerely,
    John

    23 Archie K. McLaren died peacefully at home on August 13, 2004, at the age of 95, preceded in death by his wife Ruth, in January 2003.
    Archie was born in Seattle in 1908, and was very proud to have begun working to help his family at the age of eight, selling papers on the Steamer Dawn in Mercer Island, Washington. He began a career at sea in his late teens, completing his first voyage around the world before he was 21. By the end of 1934 he had completed 38 round trips to Yokohama, Kobe, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Manila. He worked for the Dollar Steamship Lines and later for the Military Sea Transportation Service (M.S.T.S.) well into the 1950s, working his way up from Assistant Freight Clerk to Purser. In the mid 1950s he stopped going to sea and began working for the Social Security Administration, first in Washington state, then in San Diego and Escondido. He worked for Social Security for 22 years, retiring in 1978 at age 70. But total retirement didn't appeal to him, so he continued to work part-time for many years, working for the Norman Insurance Agency and giving seminars on Medicare for senior citizens. He was active in the National Association of Retired Federal Employees (NARFE) for many years, serving as President of NARFE Local #63. Archie's interest in travel never waned, and he continue to travel frequently to Europe and to take cruises well into his eighties, visiting Morocco, Russia, Greece and the Alaskan coastline. Archie was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Washington state and Oceanside.
    Archie will be greatly missed by many fiends and relatives, including: daughter, Susan Musser; sister, Jean Henry; nieces Jeanne and Elizabeth; grand-nieces and nephews Manu, Jannat, and Matthew; his distant cousin (and sometimes traveling companion) Richard McLaren and family Selagh, Josh, Morgan and Zach; and long-time friend Tamra Ruddeck.
    We will miss Archie's wonderful stories and many sea voyages and his very special sense of humor.

    25 Balwant was a famous playwrite in India.

    Obituary from his friend: Gursharan Singh, an eminent playwright and was Gargi's friend for 60 years


    The elusive Gargi
    He courted change and controversy equally

    Balwant Gargi was a friend in Lahore before Partition. By the time India became independent, he was a prolific writer and a recognisable name. But his story started far earlier. In 1914, I.C. Nanda's play, Suhag was staged, marking the beginning of the era of modern Punjabi theatre. Between Nanda and Gargi, Punjabi theatre travelled to where it is today.
    Gargi's imprint was his crisp and meaningful dialogues, scripted in Malwa's hinterland dialect. He was a product of the Progressive Writers' Movement of the forties, when Amrita Pritam, Prof Mohan Singh, Sant Singh Sekhon and others like them were at their prime. His most famous plays, Loha Kut, Kanak di Balli, Kesro, and Kuari Teesee, were all written in those years, as was the novel, Kakka Reta. Gargi's childhood memories live in these works. Mothers, grandmothers, aunts, they populated his pages.
    Gurbaksh Singh Preetlari founded Preet Nagar, between Lahore and Amritsar, and Gargi-like me and many of my generation-was shaped by the development. It was an era of idealism. Social justice, women's plight and related issues were the favoured topics. Loha Kut slammed male chauvinism and when the repressed wife runs away with the heartthrob of her youth, after her daughter did likewise, the blacksmith husband hits the hot iron with vigour, but without emotion. Words will always fail to describe what Gargi was able to say on stage. Kanak di Balli made history. It gave Gargi great satisfaction when Balraj Sahni acted in it just months before his death in April 1972. The Press in Bombay hailed it as comparable to the best that Marathi and Gujarati theatre had to offer.
    If 27, Curzon Road, New Delhi, turned out to be an address of pilgrimage, Gargi's personality was responsible for it. Only a single room, with a tree in the courtyard, it was able to attract even Pablo Neruda. When Ibrahim Alkazi was ruling the National School of Drama, Gargi set the standard with Razia Sultana, a strong statement on women's empowerment. His years at the Panjab University's Indian Theatre Department, which he founded, were also decisive. Who can forget the Chalk Circle, Little Clay Cart or Mirza Sahiban? Gurcharan Channi, Anupam Kher, Rani Balbir and many other illustrious names in the world of film, TV and theatre were associated with his productions. The TV serial, Sanjah Chulha was acclaimed as one of the best productions ever, and the son-et-lumiere show, Gagan ka Thal, hailed as a milestone in the genre.
    Gargi tasted high controversy with his novel, The Naked Triangle, a bold statement about changing values and human relationships. And by spawning the genre of rekha chitars (pen sketches), titled Nimm De Patte, Surme Wali Aakh, and so on, he made many enemies and more friends.
    The true Gargi will always remain elusive. He once told me that he was neither idealistic nor emotional. ''I can spend a night with a prostitute and write about women's lib the next day. Can you do that?'' he once asked me.
    Who can forget such a man? Truly, a pillar has fallen.

    35 Brome Hall was demolished in 1963. It was quite fancy, as these pictures show: http://www.lostheritage.org.uk/houses/lh_suffolk_bromehall_info_gallery.html

    The book "The Manors of Suffolk" describes the owners of Brome Hall https://archive.org/details/cu31924092579568 (page 239) and Wyatt is not among them, so it must have been that the Wyatt's were servants or crofters there.

    Henry's birth is listed on his birth records as 27 Oct 1796, and on his memorial as 27 Oct 1798. Since everything matches except the year, I suspect one or the other is a typo or mis-remembrance. I choose to believe the birth record at this time, but it could be either way.

    36 Caithness Family History says:
    SIR WILLIAM DUNBAR, who was created a Baronet of Nova Scotia in 1698, was a man of considerable ability and local influence. In 1691 he purchased the lands of Telstane, and changed the name to Hempriggs. He also purchased Old Wick and other lands on the south side of the water of Wick; and in 1699 he acquired the Ackergill estates, which formerly formed a barony held by the Keiths, Earls Marischal. He also acquired the lands of Wick, Papego, South and North Kilmsters, and Miln of Wenless, which before 1591 were held by the Earl of Sutherland off the Bishop of Caithness and then of the Crown, and were in that year resigned by the Earl in favour of the Earl of Caithness. He held a commission from the Earl of Breadalbane as Sheriff and Justiciar of Caithness. He married his second cousin, Margaret, daughter of Alexander Sinclair of Latheron, by whom he had a son and a daughter.

    49 Description from: http://www.electricscotland.com/history/canada/mcmurrich_william.htm

    McMurrich, William Barclay, M.A., Toronto , was born at the city just named, on the 1st of November, 1842. He is the eldest son of the late Hon. John McMurrich and Janet Dickson. His father came from Renfrewshire, and his mother from Lanarkshire, in Scotland. The McMurrichs are a branch of the clan Chattan, and formerly the bards of the clans, transmitting the traditions from generation to generation. John McMurrich engaged in business for a time in Glasgow , and came to this country in 1835. His mercantile and political career is well known. He established three mercantile houses - one at Hamilton , one at Kingston, and one at Toronto - but he was mainly known by his long connection with the Toronto house, of which he remained a partner until his death, on the 13th February, 1883. William Barclay McMurrich is names after the Rev. Dr. Barclay, who was pastor of the old St. Andrew's church, then situated on Adelaide street. His early education was obtained at the Grammar school, at the corner of Jarvis and Richmond streets, and at Knox Academy, situated on the present site of the Queen's Hotel . Subsequently he studied in the Upper Canada College, where he showed many marks of proficiency, and afterwards matriculated at Toronto University . He applied himself to the study of the natural sciences, and was golf medalist in 1863; and four years later obtained his M.A. degree. Mr. McMurrich then studied law in John Leys' office, and was called to the bar in 1866; after which he entered into a partnership with Mr. Leys for the practice of law, which partnership continued until 1874, when the firm of McMurrich, Howard & Drayton, of which he is the head, was formed. The latter have since retired, the firm now being McMurrich & Urquhart. In 1868 Mr. McMurrich first sought the public confidence of his fellow citizens, and was elected as public school trustee for St. Andrew's ward, which position he held for nearly eight years, (being twice elected by acclamation and twice after contests), and on resigning was appointed solicitor to the board, which office he still holds. While a public school trustee, besides acting on other committees, he was chairman of the sites and building committee. In 1872, as chairman of the school board reception committee, he obtained much credit for the successful arrangements made in connection with Lord Dufferin's visit to the public schools. As a trustee he took an active interest in providing education for the large number of children then wandering at large in our streets, and preparing for lives of sin and crime. He visited New York and Massachusetts, and investigated the working of the industrial schools in those states; and, on returning, prepared a minute report, which was adopted by the board. As a result of his labours, the old House of Refuge and six acres of land were secured for the purpose of making an experiment in Toronto. Complications, however, afterwards arising, prevented his scheme being carried out. While on the board he was also instrumental in procuring a standing committee on printing and supplies, and in having taken steps for the formation of a free public library, which has since become an accomplished fact. In 1879 Mr. McMurrich was a candidate for aldermanic honours in St. Patrick's ward, and received the largest majority ever given to a councillor in this city. He at once took a leading part in civic affairs, and was appointed chairman of the court of revision. During that year the Marquis of Lorne and Princess Louise visited the city, and Mr. McMurrich very successfully discharged the duties of chairman of the reception committee. The following year he was returned by acclamation, and received the highest offices in the gift of the council, namely, that of representative of the city on the Northern Railway board of directors, and of chairman of the executive committee. While in the council he devoted considerable attention to the "local improvement" system, which has been advocated for years by the city press, and in furtherance of the project visited a number of American cities where the system is in vogue. He made several reports to the council on the subject, and that body ultimately adopted a scheme which is giving every satisfaction. The next year, 1881, he was a candidate for the position of chief magistrate of the city, and defeated Mr. Close by a majority of 1,160 votes. His record during the first year of his administration proved him to be one of the best mayors Toronto has had. As mayor he drew up a manual of the City of Toronto, entirely his own work, which was a consolidation of the Beaty and Mowat by-laws, and a number of amendments. The financial affairs of the city by this arrangement were placed upon such a basis that the city cannot be defrauded except by collusion of the corporation officials from the mayor downward. The committee of the council to whom the matter was referred thanked the mayor for the labour which he had taken upon himself in preparing the draft of the consolidated by-law, and placing it before them in printed form. Mr. McMurrich has also been the means of inaugurating the system of deposits by contractors doing work for the city, the non-fulfilment of their contracts entailing a forfeiture of the amounts deposited. As a reward the citizens returned him by acclamation to fill the civic chair for a second term. Mr. McMurrich has also filled other positions of trust in the gift of his fellow citizens. In St. Andrew's Society, after serving as secretary, he was raised to the presidency, a position which he occupied for two years. He is also a member of several other societies and orders of a benevolent character. It is only just likewise to say that the success of the Semi-Centennial celebration of the City of Toronto was largely if not almost entirely due to the enthusiasm and active interest of Mr. McMurrich. After the arrival of Lord Lorne in Canada , there was a gathering of the Canadian Scottish societies to do honour to the son of the head of the clan Campbell, and to the Princess Louise; and Mr. McMurrich was elected grand secretary of the union. He had the honour on this occasion of presenting the governor-general with a sprig of myrtle, the emblem of the clan Campbell. Mr. McMurrich is a member of the Presbyterian church, and is an elder of Knox church. He was one of those who assisted in the formation of the West Church Sabbath-school, and was connected with it for over twenty years, having been superintendent for many years, succeeding his father upon his resignation of the position. He is now superintendent of the Knox church Sabbath-school. For many years he has been commissioner to the Presbyterian General Assembly, and filled positions on important committees. He married, in 1866, Miss Dewar, a daughter of the late Mr. Plummer Dewar, of "Chedoke," Hamilton. In politics he is an independent Liberal. At the last general election, Mr. McMurrich contested West Toronto in his party's interest against James Beaty, Q.C., but was defeated, the vote standing 2,714 against 2,283. As a speaker, Mr. McMurrich is fluent, clear and forcible; and there is a grace about his way of stating a point that is not prevalent enough among our public speakers. It is a very safe piece of prophecy to put Mr. William Barclay McMurrich down as a coming man. He joined the Queen's Own at the time of the Trent affair, and was a member of the company then known as the Victoria Rifles, under Captain Orde. He remained a member of that company for three years. He also passed through the Military school in Toronto, and attended the camp of cadets at Laprairie in 1864. He is now a captain of the Toronto Garrison Battery of Artillery, having been gazetted to the command in June, 1884. He was called out for active service on the 5th of April, 1885, and was stationed at the new fort, Toronto, being commandant for the time being of the force quartered there. He was relieved from duty on the 22nd June.
