RE: Hon. Frederick Lewis Maitland
This is a wonderful biography and I wondered if you had any more information on Sarah Maitland, the 1st child of Mary Arnot and Frederick L. Maitland.
Sarah Maitland had children with the wealthy Richard Parchment and lived in St Elizabeth Jamaica. She was my ancestor. Any information on Mary and Ann Arnot as to who their parents were would be appreciated.
With gratitude and best wishes
Dr Melsia Tomlin-Kräftner
University of Bristol
Thank you so much for your kind words.
I’m afraid I couldn’t find anything else on Sarah Maitland or Richard Parchment in my sources, but they are mostly naval sources so perhaps that’s not surprising!
