Hello Brian Oh gosh , I thought I was on to something when I went on to the Turnbull Clan website. I have the death certificate of my Great grandfather Robert McGregor Turnbull. He died in Napier NZ 6 October 1933. at the age of 91. He lived in NZ for 73 years. He was born in Glasgow . His father was Gregor McGregorTurnbull & Mother was Christina Mapp. Gregor's Profession or Occupation was Merchant. I know that he was in Trinidad and that is where Robert McGregor Turnbull left from for NZ. He arrived in NZ at the age of 21 then obviously went back to England at some stage as that is where he married in April 1884 to Annie Louisa Sweet. I will have a chat with my uncle & try & glean some more information. I have been using the Scottish website , but have not been able to find a birth, marriage or death information on Gregor. I think I need to go to a genealogy group to get some help. This is all very new to me. I will keep in touch. This family genealogy is on my Mothers side. I would like to speak to my uncle before you post the info on the web site. There are 5 siblings in my Mothers side & they are all still alive & very with it. My Mum is the oldest (90 in 3 weeks and has just got her drivers license again) and the youngest 80. There was an older one but he was killed in the war 1943. Thank you for your reply Cheers Bett Burr email address P O Box 8726 Havelock North Phone 06-877-1433 Mobile 021-549-028
