Hi Peter, the only cousins were from my father's youngest brother, Alistair - David & Susan Blades. I believe David emigrated to the US but Susan is still in Edinburgh. Esther was in touch with her for a while.
As for Donald, sadly no marriage, no children. In his later years he tinkered with machines, mending things. He was a decorated WW2 RAF veteran. Douglas has photos and other memorabalia, kept up with Donald until his death and was executor of his estate. - Thursday, November 22, 2012

Donald went on to repair clocks and one of his repairs was in the mappin and Webb shop in Edinburgh for a while. I think Alistair was also an alcoholic and also ended up as a down and out in Edinburgh. It is amazing to think tat people who started with an excellent background and lots of opportunity dd not make more of themselves.
