Lakna Paranawithana . Commented on E.M. Hare

The tea planter E M Hare studied at Stamford and taught by Frank Lee Woodward of Mahinda fame. With Woodward, Hare translated a number of Pali books for the Pali Text Society. This is very interesting Hare being a tea planter in the early 1900s. Were their other planters interested in Pali and Buddhism?

How much like the photograph I took in the 1950s - to be expected if taken at the same time in the year.

Ken Duff-Tytler . Commented on Robert Boyd Tytler | History of Ceylon Tea

Martin John According to genealogy information we have the ancestor in the mid 1700's was Alexander Frazer Tytler born 1747. His grand son , William Tytler the 3rd, married Catherine Boyd. His mother's uncle is described as a minister of Crimmond. The document also states that AF had a cousin named Robert Boyd. Ackland and Boyd are mentioned elsewhere as is Crimmond. I think family ties were strong and probably resulted in many joint business ventures.
