I'm so happy to see this post!
My 3rd great grandfather was William Sinclair 1832-1910.
His son John Matheson Sinclair 1858-1945 (my 2nd great grandfather) married Mary Theresa MacDonald.
I have a picture of the 2 of them with their daughters Anna Catherine Sinclair Roy (my great grandmother) and Alta Sinclair Howe.
John Matheson was known as Tat Sinclair.
Anna married David Roy and lived in Stellarton, NS. I remember her,
I also remember many family stories of Albert Sinclair of West River. Albert was the son of John William Sinclair and Edith Paxton.
Were you able to find any of William's ancestors' (parents) names?
With any luck, once his parents' names are found, we'll be able to trace them back to the Sinclairs of Orkney.
