Fiona Durling . Commented on C.J. Thomson

Charles John Thomson was my great grandfather's brother. He died aged 23 in 1891. How please? and where is he buried? Great grandfather was Alexander William Thomson of Thomson and Alston, tea merchants and shipping I believe. Alexander was married to Mary Eliza Ferguson, daughter of William and Robina Ferguson (Land surveyor in Colombo) niece of Alastair McKenzie Ferguson, proprietor of the Colombo Observer newspaper. Various Ferguson's (including Alastair) owned plantations/estates. I would be very grateful for any details you can supply regarding them and their time in Ceylon. Many thanks. Fiona Durling (nee Thomson)

Ian Gardner . Commented on Ingoya

I acted on Ingoya at the end of 1959 into 1960 having taken over from N.F.Picken who was manager there from 1950. At the time Ingoya was in rubber but it may have been in tea previously, like Dewalakande was.

A very good unadorned history of your working career which I enjoyed reading. Did not realise that your first boss who groomed you and liked your progress turned nasty after his furliugh leave! Any way you have to be proud of your achievements in life.

My Grandmother was Rosie Wilkins - born into a Planting family in Ceylon, She married my grandfather Charles Edward Fellowes Prynne who I gather was a plantation manager in Ceylon, born in London. My father Norman was born in Ceylon too. Probably related to R Wilkins..

Louise Bell . Commented on Mattakelle | History of Ceylon Tea

My parents Howard Fitzalan Clayton-Daubeny owned the Mattakelle Tea Plantation prior to returning to Australia in 1939 at the outbreak of WWII. They were married in the Anglican Church in Nuwara Eliya in 1935 and lived in the manager\u2019s house with my brother who was born in 1937. I visited Mattakelle in 2007 with my husband & am in Sri Lanka at the moment hoping to visit again. I am travelling with Macleay Valley Travel who are using the services of Jetwing Travel whilst here - I do hope we can make this possible. Kind regards, Louise Bell
