Sinclair heritage (1905) Scotland

The photo shows a baker, his two apprentices and their two apprentices below them. In the front row (the youngest males) second from the left is my grandfather James William Sinclair (born 18 SE, 1893 in Kirkwall, Orkney). The man to the right and behind James (the one in the middle) is Mr. Mac (James McGillvary) who emigrated to Canada and took the Sinclair children (Jemima, Robert, Jim ) with him to Meskinaw, Saskatchewan in 1911. Robert is the younger man in the back row on the right. There is a photo of James and his brother Robert in uniform (they had recently enlisted in the Army during WWI) posted later on this blog (see June 2007 post). Thanks to Joy Poncelet (nee Sinclair) of Meskinaw, Robert's daughter, for the positive identification of Robert and Mac.
