The picture
above, taken around 1910, shows Dr. Robert MILNE Sr. (1849–1922) and his wife
Mary Stuart THOMSON (1854-1925) with eight of their children. An earlier picture of the family, below,
taken around 1897, shows the family with nine children.
Their third son
William, about 10 years old, reclining at the bottom left of the 1897
picture, died in 1904. This picture,
originally in black and white, has been colorized. Both pictures
have been labelled with names. The
children, in order of age, are James, Robert, Margaret, Elsie, William,
Clementina (‘Tina’), Mary, George, and Ella.
James, the oldest, was a man of small stature. The father,
Robert Sr., as well as sons James, Robert and George all became doctors. Mary, the fourth daughter. became a
distinguished nurse and was decorated with the OBE (Order of the British
Empire). Robert Sr., James, Robert and
Mary at some point in their careers, all served on the Council of Barnardo’s, a British
charity that was established in 1866 (and continues to the present day) to
care for vulnerable children. Dr. Robert MILNE
Sr. was the second of five children of James MILNE (1809-1875), a farmer, and
his wife Elspet GORDON (1813-1879). |
