PREFACE. Of the numerous biographers of the poet Burns, few have dilated on his lineage. Some doubtless felt that his position might not be elevated by any pedigree, however famous. Others may have been content to hold that himself being in lowly circumstances, any inquiry as to his progenitors would be useless and unprofitable. By his biographer Dr Currie he is described as " in reality a peasant." What in respect of descent Burns really was these Memoirs will show. Bemotely sprung from a landed stock, his im- mediate ancestors were yeomen, at first opvdent, latterly the reverse. The family had produced another poet, the author of "Thrummy Cap;" but decided indications of intellectual activity did not appear in the house till subsequent to the marriage of the poet's paternal grandfather. The wife of this person was of the family of Keith of Craig, a branch of the house of Keith-Marischal.

So soon as a want is man's invention hastens to it and strongly felt, supply ; we may be sure, therefore, that in the very earliest ages of civilization lights of some kind or other were introduced for the benefit of the mariner.

N the compilation of Part II. of the Memoirs of Hydrography, the endeavour has been to give the services of the many excellent surveying I officers of the late Indian Navy, equal prominence with those of the Royal Navy. Except in the geographical abridgment, under the heading of “ Progress of Martne Surveys” attached to the Memoirs of the various Hydrographers, the personal services of officers still on the Active List, and employed in the surveying service of the Royal Navy, have not been alluded to ; thereby the lines of official etiquette will not have been over-stepped.

THE ENDOWMENT FUND. The attention of members of the Society is again called to the urgent need for an adequate endowment fund. Our pos- sessions are wonderful, but lack of means has prevented their proper exploitation, so that they are largely inaccessible to students. Rare items of Maryland interest frequently escape us because no funds are available for their purchase.

My involvement in this voyage towards my doctorate has given me opportunities I could not have imagined, and I have met many people for whom I feel immense affection. Because of them, I have been able to 'sail in smooth waters'.

  • Over the Years the Fife Family History Society Journal Has Reviewed Many Published Fife Family Histories
    PUBLISHED FAMILY HISTORIES [Over the years The Fife Family History Society Journal has reviewed many published Fife family histories. We have gathered them all together here, and will add to the file as more become available. Many of the family histories are hard to find, but some are still available on the antiquarian market. Others are available as Print on Demand; while a few can be found as Google books] GUNDAROO (1972) By Errol Lea-Scarlett, tells the story of the settlement of the Township of Gundaroo in the centre of the Yass River Valley of NSW, AUS, and the families who built up the town. One was William Affleck (1836-1923) from West Wemyss, described as "Gundaroo's Man of Destiny." He was the son of Arthur Affleck, grocer at West Wemyss, and Ann Wishart, and encourged by letters from the latter's brother, John (Joseph Wiseman) Wishart, the family emigrated to NSW late in October 1854 in the ship, "Nabob," with their children, William and Mary, sole survivors of a family of 13, landing at Sydney on 15 February 1855. The above John Wishart, alias Joseph Wiseman, the son of a Fife merchant, had been convicted of forgery in 1839 and sentenced to 14 years transportation to NSW. On obtaining his ticket of leave in July 1846, he took the lease of the Old Harrow, in which he established a store - the "Caledonia" - and in 1850 added to it a horse-powered mill at Gundaroo some 18 months later. He was the founder of the family's fortunes, and from the 1860s until about 1900 the Afflecks owned most of the commercial buildings in the town.

    Hull History Centre: Misc documents for Hull & East Riding from British Records Association U DRA Miscellaneous documents for Hull 13th cent-1950 and the East Riding received from the British Records Association Historical Background: The British Records Association is a registered charity with subscribing members that was founded in 1931. Amongst its other activities, it collects documents and distributes them to appropriate repositories. Custodial history: The BRA began to donate records to the University in the 1940s. Description: This large collection of items relating to Hull and the East Riding is catalogued with a single numeric system, though embedded inside the collection along with the miscellaneous items are a number of discrete bundles of papers relating to particular places and families. Perhaps the highlights are large numbers of miscellaneous papers for Cottingham including manorial records, a batch of papers for Sunk Island and an entire series of original bundles of title deed material relating to the estates of the St Quintin family of Harpham and Scampston. Most of the collection is composed of title and estate papers, though there is also the account book of Lady Elizabeth Wenlock 1852-63 and the early business records of Isaac Reckitt 1818-1855. The papers will now be described in detail in (artificial) numeric blocks. U DRA/1-36 comprises miscellaneous papers including manorial records (surrenders and admissions) for Cottingham, the marriage settlements of Richard Robinson and Jane Ackroyd (1656), Humphrey Robinson
