Philip Jayawardena . Commented on “MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS” – RECOLLECTIONS OF TEA PLANTING IN THE “OLD DAYS”

Thanks Vicki for the memories of your dad and Scottish Tea's where I was the last new SD on Sarnia before he left for Aussie. My dad was Ruby Jayawardena who was the first Ceylonese planter in ST&L and he knew your dad well and was also on many of the Estates mentioned by you which rekindled many memories for me too! . It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with him !

Martin John . Commented on Robert Boyd Tytler

I would have to look in my records to provide more details but I have got Robert Boyd Tytler as descended from Garden Boyd (b. 1767, Turriff, Aberdeenshire). He is a distant relative of my wife's family (the Boyd-Moss 'clan') and there is an interesting Ceylon connection. Garden had a nephew, George Hay Boyd (b. 1796), son of Rev William Boyd of Crimmond, and a cousin to my wife's ancester, Mathew [sic] Boyd (b.1766, Kilmarnock). George sailed ships for Mathew and subsequently had a business relationship with his son, William Smith Boyd (b. 1795, Bermondsey), through the early coffee 'agency house' Acland and Boyd (founded in Ceylon in 1829 and suspended operations in 1847) which, according to Forrest (1967) brought out 'relays of young men' principally from Crimmond. I believe it was this family connection that led to Robert Boyd Tytler's move to Ceylon from Jamaica.
