Note 1.

The Anstruther Guest Book

1901 - 1955

The Anstruther Guest Book began under 'Harry' Torrens Anstruther and his wife, Eva Hanbury-Tracy, in the year their second child, Joyce (Jan Struther) was born. Their address was: ' "The Cottage", Temple Dinsley, near Hitchin. Herts.'

Anstruther/G

It appears there are some sources that spell the second surname with an "e" as opposed to the correct form with an "a". In the same manner, some sources omit the hyphen.

In order to clarify - as it may be observed (left), on May 29th, 1905, William Anstruther-Gray used the hyphen and the second surname contains the letter "a". Clayre (Tennant) Anstruther-Gray has also signed the Anstruther Guest Book in similar fashion.

The Anstruther Guest Book may be viewed and annotated references explored. It is a work in progress and is updated regularly.
