PERSONALIA ET PRINGLEANA – ALEX. PRINGLE M.A. B.Sc
This is the scrapbook of my Great
Great Great Uncle Alex , who was very proud of his nieces and nephews. I don’t
know if he had ever envisaged such a thing as the Internet – but he would have got his head around it no
trouble, and I trust he would approve of his scrapbook being posted on it – he was the one for getting his
family’s name in print – you will see.
In the following “table of
contents”, Alex usually denotes the scrapbook’s creator i.e. Alexander Pringle
M.A. BSc. , whereas “Alexander
Pringle” is the former’s father (i.e.
the Lambden land steward). Clicking on
the links in the Contents column should
“jump” down the page to my feeble attempts at biographical notes. The
links in the page column should open that particular page in the scrapbook. Use
Back key to come back to this page.
Also included are materials kindly
provided by other Pringle descendants, and some other kind souls . I would like
to thank Karen McLeod, Kenneth
Johnston, Les Hewett, Robert Pringle Chapman, Laura Chapman, Vivien and Alison Bell, Nan Oliver, Ann
Chatham, Lesley Abernethy, Jan Carlstedt- Duke , Bev Phillips and the many
other people who have sent me cuttings , photos and other family information
over the last few years .
Most of all I’d like my family, the ones I’ve known and the ones I’ve not – not
least of which Alex himself.
