This family tree (above) shows those members of the Devlin family who were most closely connected to the business of T L Devlin, trawler owners, based at Granton. i.e. Thomas Leishman Devlin, his wife and his direct descendants.

I have no recollection of this ever having happened before or after. This occasion may have been when I was leaving for Korea."
