My father was Edward James Baxter Simpson who died in 2005, he had a Sister called Margaret Lindsey Simpson and she died in a plane crash on a 1965 flight from Edinburgh to Heathrow, this is when my life changed. My parents separated that same year and I never got to meet my grandad who died in 1980, he was James Baxter Simpson and owned the Monkbarns Hotel in Abroath. He had a Brother named Edward and two sisters called Robina Hume and Jane Chalmers, his first wife, my nan Winifred Kinnear also died young aged 45 back in 1952 at Cliffburn House in Abroath, She had three brothers and four sisters Lewis, Andrew, Roland, Lindsey, Margaret, Nellie and Violet. I don't know if any of them married or had children all I know is that Grandad remarried Isabella Graham and would love to hear from any one that knew them, Many Thanks Karen .

Hi Karen,

There is a lady on** Ancestry.co.uk** who has researched the Kinnear line of your grandmother Winifred ..her tree details are public.

you can take out a free 14day trial on there where you then can make contact to the lady in question perhaps theres much more she can tell you.,,,,,

Violet on a quick search married George H Suter...emigrated to USA, 1920s , they returned to 11,Green Street Arbroath Angus with George in 1960 staying for aprox 11 months ....Violet died 1985 and George passed away in Detroit.....Roland Kinnear died WW1 1918 in France.

You could try the Search Tree box at the top and try a match for the siblings of Winifred.

Violet Kinnear was bn 1896/7 in Arbroath Angus
