Our Mary McNicol married our James Halley. Peter Sinclair left his wife Mary McNicol and the whereabout of Peter Sinclair is unknown. Has John Sinclair lll got any documents of his John Sinclair relating to Peter Sinclair? regards Ruth Hirst
John Sinclair was not the son of Peter Sinclair. Regards Ruth Hirst.
