Grandmother Lazenby was a Miss Wells and her mother (your Great, Great Grandmother) was a Miss Boyd, a descendant of Boyd Earl of Kilmarnock in Scotland who was executed for being right hand man to Bonnie Prince Charlie in the Stuarts cause in 1745. So if tartans become fashionable again, you should wear the Clan Boyd tartan.

Sorry if I bore you, but old time memories I find have run away with my pen, however when I am gone Judith and Alan and possibly Murray might be interested.

One thing I forgot to mention was how George Lazenby came to choose W.A. to migrate to. He had a brother whow as a Master Mariner* and owned his own ship, he came a voyage here whaling and George came with him for a health trip by Doctor's advise and liked the climate so much he later came here to settle.

* In the Hall possessions is a large photographic copy of an oil painting of this man, also his sister. (H.A.Hall thinks the sister's married name was Parker). The Master Mariner died in Singapore.
