Hi Graham,

I'm Suddie's great-niece. If I can be of any assistance in your research, please let me know. From what I've seen of the messages on this site, you've been misinformed! Katharine Scott is my mother, and both she and my father Ward (not Ford) Scott are still very much alive!!
Let me know if you still want any family information. What is your connection to the McKechnie-Macdonald-Gemmell-etc. family tree?
Yours,
Maggie Scott
