I was born at No - The MAN & Other Families

2Aunt Mary, unmarried. Died I think a few years after I was born.Aunt Jane, married to uncle David Stevenson. He was unfortunate in business,consequently his daughters, who constituted his family, all had to earn their living asgovernesses or housekeepers. Their names were; Mary; Annie; Jane & Ida. They are alldead except Mary the eldest, who I think is 91. When we saw her in Edinburgh in 1937she was very bright and in possession of all her faculties.Aunt Galloway (Agnes) married a man called Galloway, who died before I was born. Shehad two daughters:1. Mary, who married Robert MacFarlane and had two sons, Robbie and Alexander,who were great chums of ours when children and later when grown up.2. Anna (Cousin Anna) who, with Aunt Galloway, took charge of us children whileour parents were in Java and later married her Tom Haddaway a Glasgow merchant.These are all of my father's family whom I can remember. Now for my mother's fami1y.My mother was one of the eleven children of Dr. Wm. Denison of the Royal Navy whomarried a daughter of the Count and Countess Moyaart.Dr. Denison was the doctor of the ship which conveyed the British plenipotentiary toJava to arrange for the exchange of that island from the British to the Dutch for the islandof Ceylon which at that time belonged to the Dutch. He fell in love with the daughter ofthe Dutch governor, married her and resigned from the Navy, bought land in Java andmade a fortune I believe from sugar planting.He and his large family resided in Java but returned for a time to England where theyresided in a large house at Shooter's Hill, Blackheath, but ultimately returned to Javawhere he and his wife died. His family consisted of:1. William, who married Miss Simmonds (Aunt Annette) sister of General Sir LinthornSimmonds. It was an unhappy marriage and he sent her back to England after a fewyears. They had one son, Alfred who became a coffee planter in Ceylon.2. George - I don't know what became of him, but I believe he died early.3. Noel, who became Assistant-resident in the Malay States.4. Henry, who was drowned at sea.5. Annette, who married Jonkheer Quarles van Ufford and had five children, Willie,Henry, Dora, Cornelia, and, Harriet. They all returned to reside in England, The sonsmarried money, but none of the daughters married. The only survivors of the family areHarriet, who lives at the Hague and Cornelia who lives with my sister Aggie.
