The following notes were given to Colin McKeich by his sister Muriel Ford, shortly before their mother's death. Muriel's daughter Judith Holdsworth is vigorously pursuing the Barclay/Waddell genealogy and Bill McKeich has engaged a researcher in Scotland to research George Barclay's and Jane Spence's parents and occupations.

"My grandmother's (Mum's Mother) people the Barclays had a shoe shop at Inverness, Scotland.

George Barclay (Mum's cousin) had her walking stick in his collection. It was the life of her father, William Waddell, carved by someone on the West Coast. Probably sold to his relations.

Mary Meiklejohn a daughter of Lawrence Barclay (George's brother). They live in Dunedin and have a son John who is a teacher at Kings High. Mary was a teacher too.

Marie Barclay (George's sister) married Alex Williamson a teacher, dead now, but she lives at Balclutha with a neice and nephew and is 94."
